Spoonful drop Stuckey for unknown Morrow

Another Detroit 'sleeper' type is given up on by the Spoonful, following A.Johnson and Maxiell. Stuckey's the PG of the future in Detroit, but his poor shooting, heart trouble, and fouliness (and AI's arrival) have limited his minutes of late. Moreover, he's basically an non-3, shoot-first PG (think Tony Parker who can't finish), and is thus of limited fantasy utility at this point. He gets some steals (which is partly why he's so fouly), but until his shot drops consistently, or injuries strike the Pistons, he won't be too useful. We were hoping for 14/5, this year, but it looks like 9/3 is more the more likely average for the short term.

We have no idea who Anthony Morrow is, but he started at PG for GS today (over CJ Watson) and scored 37 points, 4 3s, and 11 rebounds (only one assist, but still). There is no doubt he would get scooped up by the end of the day, so acting quickly was warranted. But who is this 'Morrow' fellow? Apparently, he's an undrafted rookie from Georgia Tech. Somewhat disturbingly, Stephen Jackson has taken Morrow under his wing, even calls him "Little Steve." That's about all we know at this point, but 37/11 speaks for itself.

Judgment: Cutting the 'sleeper' types can come back to haunt one, but it is quite liberating. Morrow's not likely to be a super-genius very often, but a line like today's is difficult to pass up. If Morrow turns back into a pumpkin, having the rotatable roster spot will be useful for the Spoonful. Stuckey's points and steals are less valuable to the Spoonful, as they generally have an excess of them, and Morrow could be a nice source of 3s. On the other hand, REBs are a more pressing need, and Morrow may well be moved for a big man if he doesn't pan out.
