Markieff Morris has been used in three starting lineups alongside his brother. Additionally, Jeff Hornacek sees Morris as a fixture in the team's lineups for his ability to run and score, the Arizona Republic reports.
Markieff Morris will play next to his brother Marcus at the two starting forward spots for the first three games of the season, the Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis:
Markieff's versatility allows him to play multiple positions, which ties into the offense Phoenix is trying to run. He'll likely see most of his time at power forward this season, but there has been some talk about Markieff playing center at times, and he can always shift down and play a little small forward.
