2021-22 Purdue Basketball Homework: Ethan Morton
Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY Sports We’ve reached the true freshmen, and as a teaser I am saving Zach Edey and Jaden Ivey for the end. How else am I going to keep y’all around waiting for more in this series?
Ethan Morton had a developmental year. He saw minutes disappear late in the season and he didn’t even appear in the final four games. He had enough underlying circumstances to be a prime redshirt candidate, but one of the very few benefits of COVID is that he had a de facto redshirt year anyway while at least getting some playing time.
In the long term, Morton still has a lot of promise. His size brings a lot of upside to his position, and this year can pay huge dividends going forward.
