Journey with your correspondent here as we go back to the halcyon days of October 2019 - January 2020. Before the respiratory disease extinction event, before whatever “that me espresso” is. This was not a great time for the New York Knicks as a whole, but it was a fantastic time for new Knick Marcus Morris. In 43 starts with the orange and blue, “Mook” was a walking bucket, averaging a career-high 19 points per game on a .533 true shooting percentage.
Morris scored 25 or more in 11 of those 43 Knicks games, including a scintillant 38-point outing against the Clippers on January 5, 2020.
