CanOfCorn Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Huh? So, Morris declared for the draft as a freshman, didn't hire an agent, went back to school, but he doesn't have to go through the draft now? That doesn't make any sense. Can he play right away? Does anyone know? Edited March 23, 2007 by CanOfCorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yes he can play right away. He declared for the draft, but never signed with an agent. After going undrafted he was allowed to return to college ball but the NBA CBA would not allow him to enter another NBA draft. He could have left Kentucky in the middle of the season to go to the NBA if he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I was really hoping the Bulls would take a flier on this guy. I still don't understand how he maintained amateur status while he could technically sign with an NBA team at any time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Why would he sign with the Knicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 12:18 PM) Why would he sign with the Knicks? Well since he did go undrafted the previous year, it was a wise decision to take the for sure bet that he gets on a team, Knicks was a good choice because they are looking to get younger and well hes young and fits in as most likely a bench player.

Ya I suppose but arent they strapped with cap room? So they cant pay that much. Also, if you can join any team I would rather join a contender.
