Clef Morrow is a talented, agile 7-footer with a decent offensive game; can take his man to the low
post and finish with turnaround jumpshots, exhibiting good footwork in the process. On the other hand, Morrow can also bring
his man out to the perimeter, with the 12-15 foot jumpshot as his primary weapon. Runs the floor relatively well and clears
the lanes for fastbreaks. The problem is that he is a bit "soft", a finesse big man who is really only involved in offense.
Horrible rebounder for his size, and not a real athletic player and doesn't match up well against the bigs that the NBA will
present to him. He always seems to wilt against top competition, padding his stats mostly with lower competition. Doesn't
have good court vision, giving the ball to him on offense is like a black hole since he is mostly involved in his offense.
Not an intimidator on defense either, small arms, little athleticism, don't make him much of a factor. His overall game needs
to be adjusted if he can make it to the NBA, as he doesn't seem relatively coachable, not having improved much from high school.

NBA Comparison: Nenad Krstic
Strengths: Talented offensive player with a nose for taking high efficiency shots and putting the
ball to the basket...Nice turnaround jumpshot and jumpshot from 10-12 feet...Nimble post moves, good agility running the floor...Good
height for a big...
Weaknesses: A soft player, doesn't like contact, rarely gets to the line, this ultimately shows most
on defense where he gets abused by less talented big men in the post...Doesn't always show up against top competition...Makes
a lot of silly mistakes...Horrible rebounder. Texas is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NCAAs...Doesn't seem very
coachable...A one-dimensional offensive machine, really...
