Burton and Niang are pretty obviously both “benchwarmers”. Not sure what you take offense to with me calling Morris a pretty good backup PG.
He's been the best backup PG in the league this year. Averages 25 mpg. He's playing 4th quarters with the starters in close games now. He's 2nd in the NBA in attor. Top 15 in 3 pt percentage.

Everytime he's on the floor of games I've watched the commentators can't stop talking about how much they love him.

I took offense to you calling him a benchwarmer and trying to save it with a sorry compliment haha

Better to be a bench warmer in the NBA than manager of a Jimmy Johns in Souix City Iowa.

Nah, because no matter what they're a former Hok playerfan which is legendary within state borders.

McCabe was such a thug.

Telling customers to suck a fat one wouldn’t go over well at a sandwich shop.
I don't know, sales of these are way up where he works.

I meant to exclude Morris from “benchwarmer” consideration. He’s been good, but calling him the best backup PG in the NBA is a bit of a stretch- Rozier, Dinwiddie, Satoransky (if you can still consider him a backup after Wall went down), Schroder, VanVleet, and Lou Williams (Pretty sure he is listed as a SG but he effectively plays PG) are all better than Morris IMO.
