Quotes About Terence Morris
"Terence Morris is one of the dominating players in college basketball.
He does everything well. He has amazing ability and a true finesse
about his game that you don't see from too many players in college
basketball. I love his game because he seems to do everything so
effortlessly. He is a true prime time player and will be an
All-American this season."
"He's the best forward at Maryland since Len Bias and one of the top
All-America candidates in college basketball this season. He could be
best front court player in America."
"Terence is the best player in the ACC. There are very few people in
college basketball who can shoot the three like he does, can dunk as he
can and score from anywhere in between. He's a frontcourt player who is
dangerous from the four spot and can score effectively inside. He is as
quick and cam move. He reminds me of Richard Hamilton because he can
score from so many different places."
"Every once in a while you have a player where you don't see any ceiling
to his game. Terence has a chance to be great, and I don't say that
about a lot of players."
"We felt we really needed to control Morris. And we could not. He can
shoot the three, he puts the ball on the floor, he gets to the rim. He
is something special."
"He'll be Scottie Pippen-like in the NBA, except that he's taller. If
he had Pippen's strength, which he'll have one day, the sky's the
limit."
"There's not one thing lacking in his game. In terms of passing,
shooting, dribbling and running skills for a guy who is 6-foot-9, he's
got all of it."
"I have not seen a smoother performer during the 1998-99 season than
Terence Morris. People can say that he is not as physical as many
players around the nation but he is as talented as any play I have
seen. He shoots the ball so well, can put it on the floor and finishes
at the goal with incredible ability. I think he is an absolute star."
"Think of Terence Morris as, say, a sculpture in progress. He started
his college career as a block of clay, and he's going to end it as a
fine piece of work. But you can't hurry art. It takes time for the
finished product to become evident." "He's one of the outstanding young players in our league. He raised the level of his game, from his freshman year to his sophomore year, measurably. He's a much more comfortable all-court player. He'll be Scottie Pippen-like in the NBA, except that he's taller.
"Morris is definitely not your average power forward. It's a given that
Francis and Profit were two of the quickest wings in college, but is
there a fleeter four man than Morris? Beefier big men have tried to
bang on him, but Morris is the one who presents matchup problems."
"Terence Morris has been one of the most consistent players in the ACC
throughout his career. He should be a dominant player in the league as
a junior. If I were starting a team of college players, he would
certainly be one of my first picks."
