Arterio Morris

Statistics: 13.5 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 3.5 APG, 2.0 SPG, 55.0% FG/37.5% 3PT/50.0% FT

Morris stepped up to the occasion against the Puerto Rico Select Team, scoring a team-high 20 points off the bench. Although a bone bruise forced him to miss the trip’s finale, he is expected to be 100% within the next two weeks. His combination of elite defense and athleticism strengthened his chances of starting at the shooting guard spot.
