<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He's only a rookie and he's not even starting for the Charlotte Bobcats, but Adam Morrison is already making his mark in the NBA. And it's not just because of his trademark wispy moustache or a few commercials. Picked #3 in the 2006 NBA Draft, Morrison is leading rookies in scoring with 16 PPG, and some observers credited his defensive effort with helping to stymie LeBron James (held to 16 points on 3-13 shooting) in their win over the Cavaliers Saturday night. "I haven't really had a chance to see him this season, but I watched him a little bit in college. He's a pretty good player who understands the game," said Pierce, who will likely match up against Morrison. "We'll find out tomorrow." Doc Rivers has already spent some time scouting the Bobcats, and liked what he saw in Morrison's game when he watched them play the Cavs. "[He's] pretty good. He's missing shots, but he's missing shots that you know he can make," said Rivers. "He's due for a breakout game, we just hope it's down the road like in a month or two." Rivers said that while Morrison is going through the inconsistencies that all rookies face, he likes his toughness and feel for the game. "He has so many great qualities that you've just got to make the assumption that he's going to be a hell of a basketball player," Rivers said. </div> Source There's some other in there too. It looks like Ratliff's gonna start tonight, and Gerald Green pulled off what sounds like one of the sickest dunks ever. 2007 Slam Dunk Champion anyone?
I'll tell you what, as for that defensive effort bullspit, this kid looked like he was in elementary school last night. Wally absolutely destroyed him, absolutely took him to school. A good shooter with a hot hand and a kid who doesn't play defense, boy that's a nasty combination. He clearly has a lot to learn on at least one end of the floor.
