http://www.nba.com/games/20091022/NOHGSW/recap.html Damn....this guy is good 48 min 13 for 19 from the field 4 for 9 from three not to mention how well he performed in the summer league or how he also has maggette, curry, and ellis to back him up.....maybe its only preseason....but watch out hes hella good
He's a terrific shooter. Great in the midrange also, shooting off the dribble. The knock on him is his defense. But in GS, should that really matter?
When you shoot that good, it doesn't matter. He is playing himself into a MLE contract. Quicker release and just as accurate as Kapono. Dare I say he is more athletic and a better defender than Kapono? Would not surprise me if he averaged 22 ppg this season.
Morrow has serious offensive talent, he just needs to bring it every night. He's the kind of guy that could be an awesome 6th man on a championship contender. But playing in GS will allow him to post better stats.
Anybody see the lineup the Warriors went out there with? Other than 20 minutes by Mikki Moore, and 27 minutes by Turiaf, the next tallest player to get a single minute of action was Maggette. Thats right, out of 240 minutes of game play, they gave 47 to big men and the other 81% of playing time was basically by shooting guards or point guards. Granted, they weren't exactly playing a great Hornets line-up, but still...Don Nelson loves his small ball. Morrow is still somewhat inconsistent, but he is definitely a capable offensive player. The other Anthony...Randolph, seems ready to break out, too.
Man Golden State has quite a collection of scorers...Jackson, Ellis, Curry, Morrow, Maggette, and Randolph who should breakout this year. They need to use those assets to get some quality defensive players and leadership onto their team because they desperately need it to be relevant.
Morrow has done that in the regular season before. His minutes have been inconsistent in GS though. I'd dare say he has been better for the Warriors then he ever was for Georgia Tech.
anthony randolph's the next big thing. dude just turned 20, and he has all of the tools to be a dominant force for years to come. too bad he plays for the most dysfunctional team in the league
Picked him up in my fantasy draft last week in the 12th round, hope he comes up big on the 3s for me.
At best he can be a Allen Iverson type player (scoring wise) and it worst he could be Jamal Crawford. Didn't he score like 38 in his season debut last year?
Anyone who has a chance to play in GS should be a fantasy sleeper, that place is nuts for points and pace.
Morrow is a great shooter but I wouldn't call him the next big thing. Anthony Randolph on the other hand has superstar potentials.
LOL what do you mean Allen Iverson? Guy shoots better than Iverson can dream of being. I see him as a Corey Maggette with 3 pt range and without the Me-First attitude. Really nice pickup for GS.
He is amazing. I can't belive he is as hot as he is. I remember he made the team last season and he was on fire from the beggining. The guy barely misses. I don't remember him having a bad shooting game since becoming a part of Warriors' rotation. The same thing is with Azubukie. We had him for a while but JVG of course refused to use and keep him so Golden State took adventage of that.
All this up and coming good coming out of Golden State, along with the existing good they already have they're looking to average 145 points a game. Wouldnt put it past Nelson to still make them give up 150
