Trey KirbyHOST
Big game.
Tas MelasHOST
Was it a Marcus or a Markieff?
Trey KirbyHOST
Mm-hmm.
Tas MelasHOST
Uh, either way, yeah, we've had some on opening night for teams, but not the opening night of a season.
Darius SorianoHOST
But I'll be damned if having Alex Caruso make what he make, what he was making, didn't matter a ton.
Darius SorianoHOST
Or even getting Markieff Morris on the buyout market and him essentially getting paid the minimum, for the Lakers at least, and how much that matters.
Darius SorianoHOST
And there's no more important commodity, I would argue, than the cost-controlled nature of a first-round draft pick that you have under cost control for at least four seasons before they even go to restricted free agency.
Darius SorianoHOST
One of the concerns around Ziaire Williams, for example, right now is, hey, man, if he has an awesome year, you have really no structural way to retain him unless you're going to give him a part of your mid-level exception.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
Was it, God, this doesn't even make sense in my head, but I guess it could.
Trill Bro DudeGUEST
Markieff?
Alex SpeersHOST
It was Mark, Markieff Morris.
Alex SpeersHOST
Good job.
Trill Bro DudeGUEST
I knew it.
Scott ReichelHOST
I'm very torn on Dallas, because at 33 and a half, the line feels low, but they are hitching their wagon so heavily to Kyrie in that back court.
Scott ReichelHOST
Because right now their backup point guard is Markieff-
speaker_1HOST
Yeah

Derek JohnsonHOST
Well, okay, usually when you're looking at some of these stats, it's gonna be filled with...
Derek JohnsonHOST
Like, if you're, if you're comparing them to the 300 and however many teams, 360 whatever teams there are in D1 college basketball, there's gonna be a lot of teams who are non-Power Four teams who are just, like, picking on the SoCon or, or whatever league they're in, right? Um, but, uh, what if I told you this? What if I told you that Bill Self has not had a team finish top 50 in defensive rebound rate nationally since? Got any guesses? The correct answer would be the Morris twins in 2011, right? And that team had all sorts of bigs who could hit the glass.
Derek JohnsonHOST
You had Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris, and then T-Rob coming off the bench i- in addition to some other guys that, that you had that could get you some of those rebounds, right? Um, that's the last time KU was at a top f- they, they, they flirted with it, right, in some recent years.
Derek JohnsonHOST
They've, like, with Hunter Dickinson, he was such a good defensive rebounder that, that they got close.
Derek JohnsonHOST
They were in the 60s or 70s.
Josh LloydGUEST
Like Shai's been out of these games.
Josh LloydGUEST
Like Markieff's been great, but also like do we expect him to be 100% shooter? 'Cause that's what he's been.
Josh LloydGUEST
He's looked really good.
Josh LloydGUEST
But also Thomas Soba's probably gonna get some minutes on this team and, and Jalen Williams, the big one.
Josh LloydGUEST
He was unbelievable in that, in his role last season.
Josh LloydGUEST
And you would think given how good he is, that he's still gonna get like prioritization, uh, over Markieff.
Josh LloydGUEST
Because again, the preseason games are not about let's exploit these other players and let's, you know, really focus in on this.
Josh LloydGUEST
It's about we- we're getting our work in as whatever your team, the opponent, we're working on something and the result of it doesn't really matter.
Zach LoweHOST
...
Zach LoweHOST
when they were really stressed out, and they started Markieff Morris and then Alex Caruso.
Zach LoweHOST
Um, and then way back when the Spurs won it in 2014, Duncan, Splitter was their starting front court.
Steve NashGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Mike MorakGUEST
Man, that's not a bad one.
Mike MorakGUEST
Come on, Markieff.
Devon GivensHOST
He said it, too.
Mike MorakGUEST
Markieff and Marcus, come on.
Devon GivensHOST
You know?
Mike MorakGUEST
I like Markieff.
Devon GivensHOST
Markieff.
Devon GivensHOST
Marcus played with, uh, Jaylen Brown.
