Man, I wish I could say I was surprised that Anthony Morrow dropped 37 points in an NBA game after going undrafted out of Georgia Tech, but truth be told, Morrow lit up every Summer League he played in. I named Morrow to my Hip 2 Da Game's Top 5 Players of the NBA Summer League:Anthony Morrow: Morrow shot the ball at an insane clip in all 3 summer leagues playing for both Miami and Golden State. From three point land, he hit 55.0, 85.7%, and 68.8% of his three pointers, which is pretty much unheard of even for summer league play. I can't imagine how this guy couldn't make an NBA roster at least as a 3-Point specialist.
Orlando: 11.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 52.6% FG, 55.0% 3FG
Las Vegas: 14.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 70.8% FG, 85.7% 3FG
Utah: 21.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks, 49.3% FG, 68.8% 3FG
Morrow can clearly shoot the rock and it will be interesting to see how much run he gets going forward. We do have to remember that this is the Clippers he lit up, but if you can shoot the ball and guys leave you open, then you can definitely help your team win. Again this guy is deadly from beyond the arc, that alone should make him valuable to a team. I'm calling it now though, if he's in the 3-Point shooting contest at the All-Star Game, then he's taking home that trophy.
