22  -  Anthony Morrow - SG, 6'5, 210 Atlanta Hawks - Acquired via trade in July 2012

Date of birth: 09/27/1985        Country: USA      Drafted (NBA): Undrafted, 2008      Out of: Georgia Tech   NBA Experience: 4 years   Hand: Right  Agent: Wallace Prather (Perennial Sports & Entertainment) Coming out of Georgia Tech, Morrow was regarded as a one dimensional shooter. He had had a solid career in college, but it was fairly inconsistent, and he never starred for his team. He was a good role player, yet he was too limited for the NBA, they said. Morrow could shoot, but he had no other plus skill, and his size and athleticism were average by NBA standards. That's what "they" said, anyway. "They" were half right; Morrow went undrafted. However, he emerged onto the scene in summer league 2008, after a good week of shooting. It landed him a spot on the Golden State Warriors. And from there, he blew up. Morrow's still limited; he can't dribble very well, and what little off the dribble game he has usually results in another jumpshot. He's a reasonable athlete, but not a great one, and even though he's bulked up, he doesn't really do much with that bulk. His game remains firmly built around the jumpshot, with not a lot else other than occasional rebounding to offer. But what a jumpshot it is. Morrow is one of the best shooters in the game, from both three point range and mid range, and he knows how to get open. Be it through movement off the ball, running the floor, up-fakes or dribble pull-ups, Morrow can create the spacing for any jumpshot that he so chooses, and then makes about of half of them. And even if he doesn't choose the best shots sometimes, he's a good enough of a shooter to even hit some of the bad ones. In the words of Vince Vaughn in Swingers, baby's jumpshot is "money." So good is his shot, in fact, that it led to a spoof website; the Anthony Morrow Facts. It's like the Chuck Morris facts, but with some key differences; a) It's basketball related (specificly, Anthony Morrow related). b) It's funny. c) It's not played out to the point that it's painful, unlike the Chuck Norris facts, which have reach a level of overused unfunniness not seen since the final days of the once-epic The Fast Show. Bad times. - 22nd September, 2009.

Chicago's Last Resort Offseason Plan That Still Manages To Avoid Signing Joe Johnson

2010-06-14

The perennially tax-paying Suns need that money. Regardless of what happens with Amare Stoudemire, the Suns need to maintain their depth if they are to maintain competitive. To that end, free agents Channing Frye and Louis Amundson need to be brought back. With Ben Wallace's deadweight contract expiring, the Suns might just have the wiggle room to do this without being tax payers: however, they've surely had enough of fighting with that enemy over the years, no doubt still haunted by the memories of the assets it has cost them over the years. If they weren't paying $7.1 million for a third string guard who could readily be a fourth string guard, they'd have the money to retain their good players and maybe add more. Who knows; with an MLE to spend for a change, maybe they could even add Anthony Morrow. A bench unit of Dragic, Morrow, Amundson, Frye and Jared Dudley is a damn fine bench unit. [read full post]

Anthony Morrow's impending free agency

2010-05-10

Of all the possible free agents this upcoming offseason, Golden State's Anthony Morrow is one of the restricted free agents that is garnering the most attention amongst fans. Well, amongst Bulls fans he is, at least. Morrow only really does one thing; he shoots jumpshots. He is not much of a ball handler, nor much of a defender, nor much of an athlete, nor much of a slasher, nor much of a finisher around the basket. But he does own a jumpshot. A really, really good jumpshot. A really, really, really, really good jumpshot. A jumpshot so good that it spawned its own cult. And in this current NBA era, you can never have too many shooters. If you need a shooter, you could always sign Casey Jacobsen. He'll need work this summer. You could also sign Desmon Farmer, Billy Thomas, Marcus Vinicius, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, or some old fringe NBA veteran who would happily sign for the minimum and relish the chance to sit on an inactive list. Worst case scenario, you could sign Ryan Ayers. But a lot of people want Morrow, for the simple fact that he has 47% and 46% from three point range in his two NBA seasons. Can't say I blame them. I want that too. However, if you wish to sign Anthony Morrow, there's some things you should know. Morrow went undrafted out of Georgia Tech, and, after hitting some jumpshots for the Miami Heat in summer league 2008, the Warriors signed him to a two year minimum salary contract with conditional guarantees. At the time, they probably didn't think he'd be a significant player; as it's turned out, however, he's been one of the brightest spots in a two year cycle of fail. Morrow has performed admirably and shown himself to be a decent NBA calibre player. Golden State now wishes they'd given him a third year. [much more at link] [read full post]

Note: Non-US teams that the player has played for are, unless stated otherwise, from the top division in that nation. If league or division name is expressly stated, it's not the top division. The only exceptions to this are the rare occasions where no one league is said to be above the other, such as with the JBL/BJ League split inJapan. In the event where more than one agent is listed, this is because the player has more than one agent. This is rather commonplace - a lot of times, a player will sign with a big agency, and they will have both primary and secondary agents from within that agency to handle their affairs. (Where that happens, the primary agent is listed first.) Also, foreign players tend to have both American and domestic agents. Where the details of such are known, they are listed.
