I don\'t think him getting cut is such a bad thing, rather than having to travel to Japan for the next stage of the tryouts. He can actually get some rest over the summer and come into the season energized instead of exhausted.

Since its a 3 year commitment, He\'ll probably get a chance to play sometime during that time, either because of injuries to others and/or him improving his game.

Thanks Ziggy. I had been looking to see if he had got cut. I agree with you he needs to be ready to go when season starts. To get that week of playing with the best, puts him a step ahead of all the other rookies.Ill bet ya he will be going to the training center and working out with Felton ever day now til season starts.

No way you can think him playing pick up with felton is better than getting on this team. The experience he would have gained is more important. I agree however with him being cut, he wasn\'t as good as the rest. Next year however he will be, and as you guys said at least now he\'ll be rested.

JonathanMartin7,
Welcome to the Board

The experience of playing in the world games would have been great for Ammo in the short term, but I my concern is that it might him hit that rookie wall that much quicker. And if we\'re going to make some noise this year, We\'ll need Morrison competing as strong as possible as deep into the season as possible.

And Again.... Welcome to the board!!!

[Jonathanmartin7]

Thanks for the welcome.
I know the rest will be good for him. I just hate to see him miss out on the experience. Still I look forward to making a heck of a lot of noise next year.

Well, the fact that Shane Battier even made the team discredits the whole selection process in the first place. Screw Coach Kry-\"zew\"-ski!

Jonathanmartin7 Great to have you on the board.I to would have loved to see him make the team .I was just saying that week can only help prepare him for the up comeing season.No way working out with Felton would have been better than getting that experience. But Felton is a gem rat, hes allways workig on his gane. I also see Morrison as the same type of person. And i also look to see him and Felton working out thghter to get even better til season starts.

[Jonathanmartin7]

shane is there for the dirty work. I wasn\'t trying to say anything other than Morrison would benefit more from being on the team. Which we agree on. I still think he\'ll play for the USA one day.

[Jonathanmartin7]

Morrison will make the team in the years to come.
