Adam Morrison update

According to Rotowire, Adam Morrison is "struggling to adjust to the NBA." I think we all know that this is preposterous. I'll admit that his stats (11.8 pts, 1.8 reb, 1.3 ast) are underwhelming, but there's more to basketball than stats. There's teamwork, passing, scoring points, having an amazing mustache, and not being afraid to cry when things don't go your way. Actually, I think it's only those last two.

Anyway, it's not Morrison's fault for starting off so slow, it's the Bobcats fault for their ridiculous draft strategy. Over the past three years the team has drafted some of the elite college basketball players from the previous season, which is confusing for Morrison. He's used to playing against these guys in the NCAA tournament and in NCAA Basketball 05-07, not with them. So when he sees Emeka Okafor open under the basket, his first instinct is to not pass it to him because that would be a turnover. However, when he realizes that Okafor is actually on his team, he is usually covered. It's a work in progress. At least he's playing. Teammate Primoz Brezec is out 2 weeks from exhaustation and dehydration. Where does he think he is, the Sahara? Drink some Gatorade and get back on the court.
