Suns expected to start Markieff Morris at PF
Markieff Morris - F - Phoenix Suns
March 8, 2013 - 1:15 AM ET
Markieff Morris is expected to slide into the starting lineup at power forward in the wake of Marcin Gortat's foot injury.
Gortat's Lisfranc sprain will almost certainly end his year, opening up tons of playing time in the Suns' frontcourt. Coach Lindsey Hunter said he plans to move Luis Scola to center, thus opening up a spot for Morris to play at his natural power forward position. This alignment could change once Jermaine O'Neal returns from his personal matter, but for now Markieff is worth a look in deeper formats. He has a roto-friendly game that includes career per-36 minute averages of 1.3 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 3-pointers.
