25 Days to Purdue Basketball: Ethan Morton #25
Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports Ethan Morton is one of two top-100 guards that will play this year as true freshman for Matt Painter.
While Ivey will get more of the highlights, Morton already looks to be the exact kind of glue guy that excels in Coach Painter’s system. That line is selling him short. This kid can play.
He was Mr. Basketball for the state of Pennsylvania, leading his team to the 6-A title and they were favorites to win the state tournament before it was cancelled. Morton did everything for the team, and even that is underselling it.
He averaged 23.4 points per game, 13 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.
