Seton Hall's J.R. Morris Declares For DraftSeton Hall has announced that guard J.R. Morris has declared for the NBA draft. Morris, a junior shooting guard, averaged eight points and 3.5 rebounds in 79 career games with the Pirates. He was averaging 10.1 points and 5.8 rebounds through 21 games in the 2004-05 season before coach Louis Orr suspended him for academic reasons. "This is something I have been preparing for my whole life," Morris said. "I sat down with coach Orr and told him that I felt I was ready to take my game to the next level. I feel I am ready to take this step."

"My teammates just told me to shoot, so I did what my teammates wanted," Green said. However it was Josh McRoberts who was named the game's MVP with 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting with a game-high 12 rebounds. He has committed to Duke for the fall. McRoberts, who is from Carmel, Ind., was surprised when he heard he was named the MVP. "I never even thought about it during the game. I was just trying to go out there and play hard," he said.

The #1 high school prospect in America delivered the goods and put some insurmountable ground between himself and the rest of his class. The undersized SG matchup we heard so much about fizzled, and some unexpected future college stars stole the show. DraftCity was there, and after consulting between ourselves and calling on some outside help, we’ve made the following observations. Gerald Green- 24 pts (8-12 FG, 6-9 3pt, 2-3 FT),1 reb, 1 stl, 1 TO, 20 min Once again showed the insane natural tools that make him a lock lotto pick in this draft. Has more hops than any HS guy in last year's draft, and tonight he showed that he has the shot. He gets his shot off quickly, and my oh my is it pretty! Quite frankly, I don't see why Green can't go in the top 5. Nearly everybody in the lotto at the moment has some serious downside, and Green is ALL upside. He blew every other prospect out of the water, and that driving dunk that he got fouled on and still threw down on was just unreal. What a prospect! An NBA scouts take: “Green helped himself more than anyone tonight. He left no doubt in my mind who the best player on the floor was. If he wants to go to college that’s fine, but he’s probably a top 10 pick should he decide to come out”. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Mar 2005 Archive
