Locke's take: Dominant. That is the only word that needs to be mentioned when it comes to Adam Morrison. In our exclusive interview on SUPERSONICS.COM with Rick Sund, that is exactly what Sund points out.
Sund’s point is that to dominate at the pro level you probably have to have been dominant somewhere else.
This year’s draft is without dominant players expect for one - Adam Morrison. Every game you watched Morrison play he was the best player on the floor. Every game the game revolved around how he was playing and what he was doing. The jump from the college game to the NBA has never been greater and you need to obviously separate yourself from the talent of the college game.
Scouts are comparing Morrison to Tom Chambers. Scouts can’t stop talking about his ability to make contested shots. One scout talked to me about how he can move his launch position of his jump shot and maintain his fundamentals. He is not sure he has seen that done better.
Morrison will score in the NBA. Morrison will be obsessed with getting better.
