@geoff, Morris unathletic ? his athleticism is above average if not good. And just because he doesn’t make three pointers doesn’t mean he has no jump shot.
Actually he is a very good mid range shooter. How many times have you seen him play ?

Morris is a very good ball handler with very good body control and agility. And he is a true PG.

But his agility and ball handling mask how unathletic he really is, at least in terms of pure speed and jumping. (one could consider agility as athleticism)

He will really struggle to finish in the NBA, and to beat defenders with the same ease. What absolutely kill him is he has no jump shot whatsoever.

Lets put it this way, Stuckey is Steve Kerr in comparison to Morris. No, he will not help an NBA team.

Agreed on the weak draft class. I will, however, have tissues and lotion ready for the Sullinger preview :)

Thanks Mike! Only downer is that this year’s crop of prospects are a little less interesting. But hopefully it gets people pumped for the draft.

This was an awesome, awesome series last year, Patrick. I’m pumped to see it again this year.
