Darius Morris sent to the D-League
Darius Morris has been assigned to the LA D-Fenders in the developmental league.
In before "I told you so".
Yep, that's a point guard.
Thank you. His vision was his #1 attribute last year IMO.
Let's wait, Burke is a freshman and he's contributing much more than Morris did as a freshman. Once JB's offense becomes second nature to Trey, watch out.
The whole long conversation above is often predicated on comparisons between Morris as he matured through the middle and end of last season and Burke as a freshman. Morris's creative potential is his strongest suit for me, but that does not equate to the complete court vision that Burke is rapidly developing. Much of a fan as I was of Morris--and I defended him here and at mgoblog against a LOT of knuckleheads who said he sucked through much of last year--Burke is by next year a better player AND asset to this team, at least if he continues to evolve as he has to date.
Morris sifted a lot of evidence and made a decision. When he landed with the Lakes it looked like a good one. At the moment, not so much. But he may yet pull it off.
