Markieff Morris became one of the most hated players to ever play for the Phoenix Suns. He has a terrible shot selection, he is charged with more technical fouls than rebounds – it seems like, – and he basically caused the Suns to implode with his drama. Not only is Kawhi Leonard better in every statistical category, but he’s right now one of the top-five players in the NBA, as well as arguably the best defender in the league. His humility and leadership would be so helpful to the current Suns team.
