Alvin Gentry: "We Drafted The Wrong Morris Twin"

Gentry Nearly Soiled Himself When Markieff Showed up

One of the many story lines out of the 2011 NBA draft was the Morris twins being drafted back to back, 13th and 14th by Phoenix and Houston. Markieff Morris was drafted by the Suns before his brother Marcus, despite Marcus being the clearly better player, a better scorer, and the Big-12 Player of the year at Kansas.

After Markieff showed up to the Suns facilities Monday, Suns coach Alvin Gentry almost had a heart attack.

"Holy crap... We drafted the wrong guy... I totally thought he was Marcus, I couldn't tell them apart." Gentry said. "The time was ticking and I got their names mixed up and... wow... we screwed up again..."

This isn't the Suns first time screwing up with NBA brothers... The Suns acquired Big man Jarron Collins thinking he was his Superior twin Jason, they drafted Robin Lopez, after mixing him up with his brother Brook, and they drafted Blake Griffin's older brother, Taylor, which was quite possibly the most embarrassing mix up yet.
