How can you disagree with this @benjimill? It's literally facts. I'm not sure why you just hit disagree or funny on everything that is showing you to be wrong
His 5’10 frame might limit him some but he might develop into a decent 3 and D or assist guy.
Clemons ish.
Yeah his size and jump shooting appear to be the knocks on him, but for such a small guy he appears to be a really good finisher around the rim. I’m not expecting a ton out of him as a freshman but am hopeful he can develop into a poor man’s Xavier Simpson.
Simpson had a bunch of big offers and was a top 70 player so I get the comp there since Wichita State wanted Toussaint. Lol

Set the NCAA single-season record with a 5.17 assist-to-turnover ratio ... became just the eighth player in Division I history to lead the nation in a stat category three different seasons ... also broke the NCAA career record with a 4.65 assist-to-turnover ratio
Gesell did get some Academic All Conference awards though!
Teams don't have to scheme against him. He isn't a guy that is going to decide the outcome of the game
Oh God Benji it's getting worse
Those three traits are what have made Morris the early front-runner to become the best player in the Big 12. Heck, those traits are what’s made him a candidate to become the best player in the country.
“Last year, I guess, he was kind of in Georges’ shadow,” Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard, formerly the head coach at Arkansas-Little Rock, the Cyclones’ opponent in the second round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, said. “I remember vividly preparing for that game, I watched, maybe the first half of the first game late that night after we beat Purdue, and I was like, ‘This guy might be their best player.’ No disrespect to Georges, but this guy, we were really worried about him. He’s a special player.”
Beard is far from the first opposing coach to say he’s worried about the 6-foot-3-inch senior. He struck fear in the hearts of opponents all last season while averaging 13.8 points and a Big 12 leading 6.9 assists per game.
But, the really scary thing is he’s supposedly even better entering his last year in Ames.
“I’ve seen too much of him on the floor,” Baylor head coach Scott Drew said. “We’re waiting for him to go to the league. One of the premier point guards in the country. He can shoot it, he can get to the paint, he can finish at the rim, he gets his teammates involved. He had a great summer, a lot of scouts have been talking about him. I know it’s not fun coaching against him, but you like watching him play.”

No Monte won and wasn't a douchebag.
"Average scorer" who put up 16.4 ppg as a senior. Iowa didn't have a player even average 15 ppg this year lol
Michael Jordan was above average prove me wrong.
