He's not hiding from criticism of his junior season, and he's not running from it. Instead of bouncing to the NBA as a middle-round pick, Morris returned to confront his potential one last time. It's fairly predictable what the rest of the Terps will deliver, despite the recurring mystery of how SG Juan Dixon produces so much. Another year of maturity may enhance the production of SF Danny Miller and PG Steven Blake and having 6-10 freshman Chris Wilcox to help may lessen the inside pressure on C Lonny Baxter. This is a good team, guaranteed.
Greatness is there to be reached.
The backcourt must hold up. The combo of sophomore PG Steve Blake and junior SG Juan Dixon is the foundation of one of the top four backcourts in the nation. Last season, the two combined for 25 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists a game. But they also each averaged mega-minutes, Blake putting in 31.9 a game and Dixon leading the team with 34.0 mpg. But there's really no backcourt depth beyond them.
