Is a CBA team interested? Morgan scores exclusively in single game, rich experience in overseas leagues

On July 20th, the Trail Blazers lost 68-84 to the Hornets in an NBA Summer League game. Cui Yongxi only got playing time in the final stages of this match and didn’t have much of an opportunity to perform. On the contrary, Hornets player Matt Morgan put on a highly efficient and impressive individual performance.

In the entire game, Morgan came off the bench for 22 minutes, going 11-for-11 from the field, including 7-for-7 from three-point range, scoring 36 points, with a plus-minus rating as high as +18 while on the court. In this game, Morgan scored 11 points in the first half as a warm-up. In the third quarter, Morgan scored 11 points in a single quarter. In the final quarter, Morgan remained unstoppable, scoring another 14 points. At the same time, he maintained his perfect shooting percentage throughout the game, becoming the biggest star of the match.

Morgan is already 26 years old, having played four years at Cornell University but went undrafted in the 2019 draft. Afterward, he represented the Raptors in the summer league, signing with them at one point, but was subsequently released. Following that, Morgan played in the G-League, the Turkish League, the French League, and the British League. Judging from his performance in this game, Morgan’s individual ability is outstanding, and even if he doesn’t secure an NBA contract in the future, he can likely still find work in some overseas leagues.
