Height: 6’8”
Weight: 205 lbs
Accolades:
WCC All-Freshman team
(04), All WCC First Team (05), Honorable All- American (05)
Scouting Report:
Whether or not Morrison beats out Redick for Player of the Year honors,
there's little doubt he's the most fun player to watch in college
basketball. Don't buy into the Larry Bird comparisons, Morrison is
good but he won't be an NBA all-time great. There's no reason that
he couldn't score 20+ points per game in the L however.
Strengths:
Scoring, scoring and more scoring. Can get his shot off from anywhere
on the floor, open or double teamed. Decent rebounder. Clutch
performer – wants the ball in crunch time. Proven himself to be a good
leader as his career has progressed.
Weaknesses:
Defense – may struggle having to guard athletic NBA wing players every
night. Needs to bulk up and get stronger. Diabetic condition may scare
off some teams.
Projected 2006 Draft Range: Top 5
Consensus: Morrison's killer instinct and
ability to score will make him sucessful in the NBA. He does need to
get a bit stronger to handle covering some of the League's bigger 3 men,
but if his health (diabetes) stays in check he should have a long and
successful pro career.
