Darius Morris to Try For A Place in NBA Basketball
Michigan Basketball to lose Darius Morris
Darius Morris, the six-foot-four hunk of basketball, is all set to quit his place on his Michigan Basketball team to try for a place in the NBA. The starting point guard of the Michigan Basketball team, who has two more years of play with the team, has decided to resign. Morris has been one of the major players of the team and has an assist average of 4.8. He also holds a record for the most number of assists in a single season, the statistic being 235 assists. Morris is not the first player to have left Michigan Basketball prematurely. The team has lost Manny Harris before his time, as he too left to pursue his NBA dream in the final year.
What does Darius Morris say?
Darius Morris, who is in the sophomore year of playing with the Michigan team has confessed that the decision to quit the team was heart wrenching. However, he admits to the fact that this is the ripest stage for him to try a hand at the NBA, which has been his dream for as long as he can remember. He confirms his trust in the Michigan team and says that he is sure about the team making great progress in the near future, as it is going through a very progressive stage.
NBA’s response
NBA is expected to welcome Darius Morris into the high league with open arms. With his 6.7 assist per game record in the last year, his place in NBA is as good as reserved. His tall frame is a huge advantage. Members of NBA said that he would fit into the 1 and 2 positions perfectly. Morris is reputed for his agility, swiftness on the court and of course, his length. However, NBA sees a glitch in accepting Morris into the league right now. His only drawback is his poor left hand usage. He has repeatedly erred when handling the ball with his left hand, which has lead the NBA to suggest that Morris wait another year to sharpen his ambidexterity before trying his luck at the NBA.
