Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas said there's an efficiency about the way Marcus Morris plays that suggests far more experience than that of a college junior.

"It's his help-side defense or his blocking out. They really don't do a whole lot of that in college," Silas said after the workout. "Or him posting up and then fading back on the jumper. He already knows if he just goes inside, there's a chance he's going to get it blocked.

"He knows to position himself to be successful with the basketball. That's most important in this league - knowing who you are and what you have to do. And he most certainly does.

"With most kids in this league, you have to wait two or three years for them because they don't understand what's going on," Silas said. "You have guys who are athletic, but don't know how to play. You have guys who know how to play but aren't very athletic. You have to have one of the two, and if you have both you can be outstanding.”
