The Altar of Juwan Morgan

He's 6'8" with shoes and around 230 lbs, meaning he's about the size of Joe Ingles. He's tough, he has good defensive instincts, he can score around the rim, and he can spot up from 3. I think he's probably a backup 4. I don't think he can guard 5s, but I haven't seen him really try.

JWF and Brantley have more upside, imo, but they're not fully baked yet.

If 6’ 8” is his official measurement from this year then it’s without shoes. Which isn’t bad at all.

He's shown more in the G-league than he did at Indiana. He's tough defensively, a bit like Royce O'Neale is, in that he can hold his ground against bigger players. He has enough handle to rebound and go. He can drive in a straight line for 2-3 dribbles. He can score at the rim. I haven't seen him make plays off the dribble much, but he can do a bit of it. I think he's a forward.

If he breaks the rotation it will be because he defends and rebounds, and Jeff Green usually doesn't.

From an article a little over a year ago on him.

“Morgan has gained an inch in height and 27 pounds since he started training at IU. He’s put on two pounds since last year– undoubtedly muscle gains and fat loss. He put up some records training with Indiana’s strength and conditioning coach Clif Marshall in the offseason. An 800 lb leg press and 510 lb deadlift put him on top for Indiana men’s basketball weight room records. The 10-inch increase in his vertical jump and adding 16 reps to his 185 lb bench press will undoubtedly make a more explosive and confident Morgan going into his last year as a Hoosier.”

Morgan is more of a 5 than a 4, especially in Utah's offense. I'm sure he could play 4, but his ideal position is the 5.

Defensively he has been Draymond-esque in the G-League.

Come on Quin... let's try G League Draymond as a backup center.
 
We got a small taste of it and it wasnt great, but it was a hard *** game to come in to.

And on the and-1 he gave up I thought he was in good position and playing good D until the end where he slightly bit on the fake.
