per the STrib:
Long and agile with quick feet and a big wingspan, Morris — nicknamed “Squirrel” from childhood because his grandfather thought he moved like one — has a knack for slithering past defenders and getting to the basket.
That’s what drives Pitino so crazy about Morris’ penchant for tossing up rushed, contested shots.
“You’ve got to let him go through it a little bit,” Pitino said, shaking his head. “But he can go by anybody. … I don’t want him looking at the bench saying ‘Should I shoot it, should I not?’ I hate that. I want my guys to play with freedom. But with that being said, if you can go by anybody, go by anybody.”
