from nba.com yesterday "As far as Morris is concerned, what seems to be included in all the stories about Terence is that he would have been a lottery pick had he come out after his sophomore year. I think that there is no credibility to that statement. I put Terence on a number of preseason All-American teams a year ago and statistically I don't think he had a good year. Shoving that statement aside, if you were to build a prototype of a small forward, you would maybe pattern it after Terence because he can pass the ball, bring it upcourt well and shoot well. He just needs to get some experience and concentrate on playing hard the whole ballgame. He's a good rebounder for his size and is among the top shot blockers in the country for his position. He needs to get his consciousness to make basketball fun for him again. It would not surprise me to see him go in the top 20. I think he has the ability to play in the NBA." ------------------
So basically, Morris is Kelvin Cato as a small forward. He has the skills but doesn't always use them. ------------------
If we had a second round pick, then I would go after Morris. I guess I don't value him as much as the other Clutch posters. I just wonder how many of you like Morris just because Steve Francis said he wanted him. ------------------
No, no. Please don't compare him to Cato. Cato doesn't care and has a piss-poor attitude. If T-Mo were simply more demonstrative, teams would be all over him. He should play well with Steve and Cat. ------------------
Demonstrative? Maybe he could demonstrate how he managed to shoot 27% from the 3pt line. That'd be an interesting demonstration. ------------------ Newbiehad... coming to a bbs near you, October 31st.

I hope we get T-Mo for the simple reason that if we don't, everyone on this board will have wasted a whole lot of time. ------------------
