Only on a Don Nelson coached team.
Undrafted free agent goes off for 37 points / 11 rimbalzi.
I think that is the top points output for a rook this season - or did Mayo outdo 37pts (since he has been filling it up of late)???
Regardless - impressive for a no name...

Man the fact he played 42minutes as a rookie is impressive enough! 15-20 isnt going to happen again i wouldnt of thought, if it does, watch his stocks soar on fantasy hoops!

Highest score for a rook this season. OJ hit "only" 33.

Highest by an undrafted rookie in NBA history suprpassing Marquis Daniel's 33 points filling in for Steve Nash in his rookie year. Its well known Morrow has a sweet stroke they just decided to run some plays for him and he kept hitting the shots....and the rest is history.

Johnny Sack, you beat Quagmire to it! I was expecting him to create a new thread on Monday suggesting Anthony Morrow will be ROTY :P

Its also unusual for Nellie to give rookies serious burn unless he sees something special.

But it`s not unusual for weird and wacky things to happen on Don Nelson teams... What does Monta say???

If I was Marco Bellinelli i would be pleading with Don to give me some burn. Marco deserves to play--I'm sure that he could do some serious damage in the NBA if he got some minutes.

'Undrafted' rookie Ricey. There are rumours Bellineli might be heading to the Nets so Morrow could see some consistent burn this season.
