Getting up to speed
Bobcats guard Adam Morrison is ahead of schedule in his recovery after missing the season because of surgery on his right knee. The ex-Gonzaga star is back on the floor running, shooting, and doing light basketball drills. He is expected to play for Charlotte's summer league team.

Re: Adam Morrison News
I still think he could be one of the best out of that draft. I have high hopes for him, even though i'm not a Bobcats fan. I hope he gets well and lives up to his potential. I know he still can, and he doesn't deserve the critisism he gets.

Re: Adam Morrison News
It's awfully hard to judge him right now,but he wasn't good as a rookie.He had a couple of great scoring games,started the season playing horrendous defense and contributed almost nothing when he couldn't score.He looked a lot better in the preseason and summer league last year,but that doesn't count and then he got injured right before the games started counting.If he can't turn things around he's going to go down as one of the biggest mistakes ever.

Re: Adam Morrison News
Its hard to think a great shooter like him could be a bad player. Maybe not a top 3 pick, but he is so good of a shooter you got to atleast believe he belongs in the league. The knee injury (I think thats what he injured) isn't as big of a deal as it is to someone like Amare because he doesn't rely on athletecism. Yeah his D is bad, but thats something he needs to be coached on. He is still young and I don't see how people think he doesn't even belong in the league after the short ammount of time he has been in it.

Re: Adam Morrison News
Morrison was never a great shooter.That's a complete myth.He was a really good college scorer and noone cares now.JJ Redick is like top 15 in NCAA scoring,that doesn't mean anything in the NBA.It doesn't carry over.

JJ hasn't had a chance because Van Gundy is a defensive minded coach and if you don't (or can't) play good D you don't get a chance, and their coach before that (Brian Hill or something like that) had bad rotations and never knew who to use. I see Redick in the same position Adam is and they will both turn out to be atleast decent pros. I think Morrison is a good/great shooter and it takes a while to get used to the 3.5 foot difference in the NBA three and college three.

Re: Adam Morrison News
I hope the 'stache comes back strong this year, though he certainly did struggle as a rookie. We'll see how the leg heals up... he's a crafty player, and I still hold out hope that he'll carve out a niche in the league.

Re: Adam Morrison News
/\I think Bobcats fans will be happy if they can even get that out of Morrison

Re: Adam Morrison News
Morrison will make around four million next season...they'll have to take whatever they can get,but they won't have to be happy about it if he can't provide some real bench scoring.You can get a pretty decent veteran for that amount and be reasonably sure what to expect from him.

I don't understand why people think this. It angers me because he showed a lot in college and he has an offensive game that translates well in the NBA.
