More upside? Easily D-Mo. But Morris is by far the safer pick. It's like picking between a Stromile Swift mold and a Udonis Haslem mold. My answer to the question may be one thing but who I would rather have (if given the choice) is a completely different subject.
i agree, i dont see the Melo or even paul pierce comparisons?? to me Morris was a pf with range in college.. i NEVER saw him use any kind of a dribble move to create his own shot or a dribble cross over move.. i saw kick outs to a stationary pf for a open three… he runs a good pick and pop though so thats a plus, but i dont see this "MO is gponna play a sf" thing.. he isn't athletic or mobile enough, especially in his lateral movement.. imo
Bingo more like Al Harrington, Corliss Williamson. To say he's a Paul Pierce or Carmelo Anthony is a bit far fetched. But even at that i still like the pick even if he was Harrington. Motiejunas will be about 75% at best of what Dirk is and about 75% of Gasol. To me he has another thing coming the NBA is no joke.
I think Motiejunas has more potential but I think Marcus is more likely to reach his potential. I think Morris could be an all star caliber small forward but Motiejunas could be a super star
The draft position argument is pretty weak. Pierce himself went 10th in the 1998 draft, behind such luminaries as Olowokandi, LaFrentz, Robert Traylor, and Larry Hughes.
