Editor's Note: Morrison Hopes to Find Luck in Vegas

The NBA hasn't worked out the way Adam Morrison had hoped it would. After setting himself out as one of college basketball's elite, the Charlotte Bobcats had high hopes that he could lead the oft-struggling franchise. He came out of Gonzaga as the third overall pick in the 2006 Draft. Now Morrison is playing for the Lakers' Summer League team in Las Vegas to restart his career. His life with the Bobcats was a struggle from the begginning, facing heavy pressure after being picked personally by Michael Jordan. He lost his starting job midway through the 2006-07 season, and before the '07-'08 season even started Morrison's had ended. He tore a ligament in his knee during a pre-season game, and missed the entire year. Another poor season spelled doom for Morrison as he could not jump back into the 2008-07 season with the same intensity he displayed during his college career. His troubles sent him to Los Angeles with Shannon Brown in exchange for Vladimir Radmanovic. Morrison saw nothing but garbage time with the Lakers, and never even stepped foot on the court during LA's championship playoff run. Now Morrison is fighting for a chance to make the team in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
