I would actually argue that Morrison could be at least a second scoring option on our team. From what I see, running an offence through him could make Bosh look a whole lot better as well.

When Morrison was on Gonzaga, he was causing all kinds of problems for defenses, giving Batista open looks on almost every position. The way I see it, is that Morrison is the type of player that can score a ton of points, and can play relatively well while double teamed. Bosh has better offensive outings when he's got a defender iso-ed.

But thats considering that Morrison's game translates into the NBA.

I also don't see what the huge fuss is about not being a great defender. How many guys do you see as being lock down defenders in their first year? Defending is only partly about foot speed and lateral movement, a big part of it is ball IQ. The only problem that I can see is having a coach that feels defense can't be taught.
