MN Daily: Carlos Morris becoming more consistent on the court

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

Senior guard Carlos Morris had an up-and-down first season with the Gophers after transferring from Chipola College, but so far his play has evened out.

It started with taking better shots.

“He’s getting better [with his shot selection],” head coach Richard Pitino said after Morris’ 13-point effort against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Nov. 13. “It’s funny with him because he really wants to win and score. Sometimes he gets a little bit impatient. He’s got to trust the offense more, but [his shot selection is] an improvement.”

Morris’ consistency has shown in his scoring so far this season, as he’s become one of the Gophers’ main threats on offense.

He’s scored 12 points or more in all but one of the team’s seven games so far.

“I watched a lot of film over the summer,” Morris said. “The game kind of slowed down for me. I’m more patient. I’m not rushing [shots]. I’m not forcing shots.”

Really....He was on the bench most of the second half against Clemson because poor shot selection

I thought he had a pretty good game against Clemson and the reason he was on the bench the last six or seven minutes was that Pitino wanted to pressure the ball on defense and playing Dorsey and Mason together produced much better results.

He was 3-5 from the field...

Morris has significantly improved his shot selection. Let's also not forget that the guy can actually make tough shots. I'll take him driving hard to the hoop more times than not. I think he could get to the FT line more than he does. It's his long and/or off balance twos that drive me crazy. He's cut down on those a ton.
