I agree. He does it all. I honestly think Burke is probably the better 3 pt shooter if it came down to it, but not by much. Monte's are normally wide open and Burke can hit tough ones with a hand in his face. I honestly think if Monte went pro after this year he would get drafted. 1-2 more years and he will be lottery. There are plenty of NBA teams that would love a tough kid who plays D, distributes well, and doesnt turn it over.
Yeah I'm starting to think it is, Monte seems like a very tall 6'2 and is a better athlete than Burke. Burke was a great college player but Morris has more potential at the next level, he's got unbelievable vision, a decent and improving shot. He could certainly be a guy who blows up this year.
I predict, his will be the next jersey to hang in Hilton, well maybe not the first, but It will hang there eventually!
I'd disagree with that quite a bit, Burke was a lot more explosive than Monte has shown so far. If the Burke comparison is what you're going with then Burke was a much more proven scorer who shouldered a lot bigger load than Monte has so far.
I'm not down on Monte at all or saying that he can't get to that level but let's slow down with the "he's as good as a lottery pick" in his second game as a sophomore.
Man man is going to break his own assist to turnover ratio as a sophomore. Guy is special. Cant take the time we have with him for granted. Guys like him don't come around often
You have no idea what you are watching then. This is his last year, one more maybe. Zero chance he plays four years unless he gets hurt.
Burke's lack of explosiveness was one of the biggest knocks on him, Monte is at least his equal in that regard and is bigger too. Burke relied a ton on his step back jumper in college, which worked great for him then but doesn't work so well in the NBA against, bigger quicker guys. Burke was a great college player, Morris has the potential to be a better NBA player.
Our best hope is to find guys good enough to win ncaa championships but not quite nba caliber so they stay 4 years.
I understand what you're saying but all three of the guys you named have been at ISU longer than Monte. Give it time.
Monte completely controlled that game. Not enough people realize how much better he makes the other players on the court.
