The Definitely’s

— Chicago (Kris Dunn)                                         — Phoenix (Tyler Johnson)

— Washington (Tomas Satoransky)                             — Dallas (J.J Barea)

— San Antonio (Patty Mills)

None of these guys are scrubs by any means, but for one reason or another they don’t have a winning argument against Morris.

Johnson, Barea and Mills are career-long role players — Barea with the Mavs, Mills the Spurs and Johnson the Heat before being traded this season.

Tomas Satoransky, in his third year in the league, has done an admirable job filling in for John Wall but is still just a young rotation guy. And Dunn has never lived up to the lottery pick the Timberwolves took him with.

Though Dunn and Satoransky have potential moving forward, this group isn’t quite there yet.
