Purdue Off-Season Basketball Homework - Ethan Morton
Ethan Morton’s career arc is somewhat of a head-scratcher. Between flashes of brilliance, including great passing and key defensive stops, his shooting and overall contribution to the offense last season left a lot to be desired. This is the former Pennsylvania player of the year entering his senior season. He’s a great asset on the wing but has the tools to be so much more offensively.
Defensively, he’s been about as effective as one can ask him to be.
After playing a key bench roll in his first two seasons, Morton stepped into the first team lineup as a junior, starting 29 of 35 games. The bigger role, however, did not yield the jump in production many expected.
