The greatest of Juwan Morgan’s gifts is the world of possibility he unlocks for his team.
To place the ball in his hands is to give a possession direction, though the exact course is left to Morgan’s discretion. He is a rock – a facilitator, a versatile defender, and a go-to scorer when he needs to be. This season, he has acted more as the former than ever before, a product of playing next to a preternatural scoring talent like Romeo Langford. Morgan affords Langford the luxury of working off the ball and as a secondary option, but Langford’s presence allows Morgan to act as a gap-filler in ways he couldn’t on previous IU teams.
