Adam Morrison, Next Bird?

I'll give in to the fact that Morrison and Bird both have facial hair issues, but comparing Bird and Morrison at anything else above the college level isn't a valid subject considering Morrison hasn't stepped on an NBA floor, let alone played an entire career. I'm so sick of every single player having to be the "next" somebody... (continues ranting to self)

I think a better comp for Morrison is another guy who led Division 1-A in scoring, Glenn Robinson. Like Big Dog, Morrison's a great shooter (with more range, really) and a talented scorer. Also like Robinson, Morrison doesn't have a great defensive rep. I hesitate to compare Morrison to Bird, though; Bird was an incredibly rare player -- so rare that there probably will never another one. Even though he went to a mid-major (or is Gonzaga even one of those anymore?), is old-school, and is a fantastic player, Morrison will probably belong to a lesser class of NBA players than Larry Legend (there's no shame in that, though). Of all the players taken, though, Morrison is the most likely to average 20 a game the soonest, and he'll be an all-star someday.

Nah. I think it'll take a lot for him to equal Sue.

Morrison is similar to Bird in that they can both score, and they're white. Other than that, Morrison doesn't look to be even close to Larry in terms of rebounding, passing, and defense. Not even close.

How can he be compared to Bird before he ever plays?
