Wizards waive former lottery pick Morrison Posted Oct 21 2010 9:53PM WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former lottery pick Adam Morrison has been waived by the Washington Wizards, less than a month after signing with the team. The Wizards also have waived center Sean Marks, and Thursday's moves allow the team to cut its roster to 15 players. Morrison averaged five points and two rebounds in five preseason games with Washington. He was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick by the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006 after starring in college at Gonzaga. The 6-foot-8 forward has played in four NBA seasons, two with Charlotte and two with the Los Angeles Lakers, with career averages of 7.5 points and 2.1 rebounds. Marks has played for five teams since entering the league in 1998. He didn't appear in any games for the Wizards this preseason. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5712911 ------------------------------------- Get 'er done Morey!
i think they should have kept him he is a good player just needs a shot i think. i liked him when he was on the Lakers we just have to much talent for him to get a shot.
Kinda feel bad for him. He is called a failure and the biggest 3rd pick bust ever every day of his life. Also seems very nervous in front of cameras and gives off poor body language. He should go to Europe where his white boy athleticism wont be such a hindrance.
I'm sorry...dude may be the Biggest Bust every...definitely in consideration. He may not even be in the league anymore...think about that. Even with other NBA bust it usually was...personality problems, couldn't get healthy...at least those guys stayed in the NBA...this guy will have problems making a team.
He got a chance to play in the NBA and make a ton of money doing it. I have no sympathy for the guy just because it turned out that he wasn't good enough.
Adam Morrison is like a case study in skills that don't translate well into the pros. I remember when there were articles on CNNSI comparing him to Larry Bird.
I remember panning him in college and hating his game. There was no way he'd get away with his Gonzaga garbage against NBA defenders with real length and athleticism. Awkwardly throw myself into traffic and jack one up! I would have taken Reddick over him 10 times out of 10. At least he had an obvious NBA skill.
How's this for fun? The Wizards and MJ drafted Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown is a bust. Jordan's final playing years were with the Wizards. Jordan and the Bobcats drafted Adam Morrison. Adam Morrison signs with the Wizards. The Wizards, waive Adam Morrison. Adam Morrison is declared a bust.
i didnt think he would be great, but i thought he could at least be a bench player. Drafting him #3 was silly though
I'll never forget this. That was a veteran Gonzaga team that blew the huge lead to UCLA. Morrison's bizarre crying fit was the perfect cap to that meltdown. Didn't he starting crying before the game ended?
