Poe Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 With Josh Howard recovering from a knee injury, Adam Morrison will have a chance at the beginning of the season to grab minutes at the small forward position with the Wizards."I like Adam's ability to knock down shots. I like his size," Flip Saunders said of Morrison. "He's going to have a good opportunity. If he can make open shots, it might be beneficial to what we're looking for." But Morrison said he is no longer concerned with trying to meet the expectations of being the third overall pick. "I'm just trying to make a team," Morrison said, "but we still got a month left in training camp. We've got a ways to go. I don't really have to live up to anybody except my parents and my family that I have. That's the only people I have to live up to."Source Wall - Arenas - Morrison - Blatche - McGee? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Next Knick Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I really want to see what Morrison could do, I know he's been an uber bust throughout the first five years or so of his career, but maybe a possible turnaround is in store?

AboveLegit Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Yeah, if Morrison can knock down open jumpers, I'd love to have him on the team. The SF position is probably the weakest part of the line up, so we need to mix it up with players that can bring different things to the table.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 3, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I believe it was Kobe who said he was one of the best shooters on the team last season (or the season before), but Morrison could never stay on the court because of the injuries.

JWaLL Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I watched him at the George Mason training camps, can't say I was too impressed with him. He had one great and1 highlight play, but for the most part I saw him getting crossed up pretty badly and failing to knock down most of his open jumpers. I wouldn't really consider him a "replacement" for Howard, but more-so an injury reserve player in case both Howard AND Thornton can't play.

fish7718 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Unless you've seen Thornton play night in and night out you really can't imagine how bad of a player he is. I'm sure you can look at the stats and say "well he's not that bad" but he is, the guy has like no basketball IQ what-so-ever. Wouldn't be shocking for me if Ammo did start the season at SF.
