    I'm really impressed by the way adam morrison is playing this season. I really didn't expect him to adjust to the nba so well. he's scoring at will for a rookie. he's also getting a lot of minutes, 37 a game. he's not shooting the ball that well but he is still finding ways to score. but please morrison, do me a favor and shave that disgusting strip under your nose that you call a mustache. it's not even a real mustache. he looks like he's still going through puberty with that thing. he's probably the ugliest player in the league right now. but nevertheless, the dude can ball.

    Lol, dont bang the 'stache we will grow into it.I think Morrison can become a future star, but not as atheletic as we are used to them, just pure scorers as far as my eye can see so far. 15 + ppg is pretty good, and I think will be a key role player for the Bobcats in the future. Good pick indeed. I have heard comments on his D and I think it is as bad as people say, but that is what players have to adjust to. IMO I dont like one minded players, and Morrison seems to be one, I am just glad that the Bobcats found a way to use him efficiently.

I've seen it too much of it because he was all over sportscenter since he was the best player in college. I won't grow into it because I've seen enough of that thing. :thumbdn1:

    Forget the stache, I could care less about that. Get a friggen haircut, Adam! But whatever, his job is to put the ball in the basket. I don't care what he looks like, he has been playing well. He started off bad, and he still struggles at times, but he is a gifted scorer and he will have a solid career with that. It's the rest of his game that is so average/below average.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Forget the stache, I could care less about that. Get a friggen haircut, Adam!</div> I have to agree with this. I'm a fan of long hair but his hair is over the top for a basketball player. By over the top, I mean it's not great to have that much length while playing basketball. I've played with long hair and it can be uncomfortable with the hair getting your face and the sweating. He's better off cutting it. Stache should stay, it's his niche despite not being a well endowed looking stache. It's marketable and sets himself from other players. As for his play so far, I'm mixed but more towards positive. I think his shot has been off since season start and was hoping for more of an array of scoring. He's very creative but seems to be holding back with some of his arsenal he used in college. On the other hand, I think he's doing great getting himself open by running around screens and moving without the ball. And his ability to get to the free throw line, big reason why his scoring average is up because his shot ain't falling. Defense, no comment lol, rebounding ain't great either.

    I have known all along that Morrison was going to be great. For me, it was between him and Brandon Roy for the ROY this season and it looks as of right now, that he is giving himself a great chance to get it. The guy can flat out score the basketball. Like knickfan4life said, when he isnt shooting well, he seems to find other ways to score. Whether that is getting to the free throw line by driving to the hoop, fast break points, or points off of loose balls and rebounds, he gets the job done. I think he is going to be a complete stud when he is in his prime....

    Anyone who actually saw Adam Morrison play knew he'd have a solid career. He will only continue to improve (But no, don't dare bring up the Larry Bird comparisons)

    yeah I like what he's done, I said on another board during the draft time that he'll avg around 15 points a game this year, so far I'm right......and after he tore bruce bowen a new ***hole I knew I wasn't overhyping him on that other board.........one thing, he needs to stop taking so many damn shots, he's messing up his percentage lol.......and yeah the stache can stay, the hair has to go though

    Morrison has played great and exceeded my expectations for him. I knew he would be a very good scorer, but I thought it'd take at least a season or two to become as good of a scorer as he is right now. His defense and rebounding are suspect. But with Okafor on his team, I don't think they'll need much rebounding from Morrison anyways.About the hair and the stache, the hair needs to go, or at least cut to a reasonable length. Then about the stache, someone mentioned that its basically his 'niche' in the NBA. People know it, people seen it. He looks like a goofball, but like someone said, it sets him apart from the rest of the NBA.
