Summary:
Morris Udeze is a strong, physical forward that previously played at Wichita State before transferring to New Mexico. He had a good senior season this past year, and he was recently named a co-MVP of the 2023 Reese’s College All-Star Game. He will need to improve his jump shot and playmaking skills, and he will need to show that he can guard quicker players out on the perimeter. Right now, he may be a long shot to be drafted, but he is a high-motor player that could end up carving out a long playing career in professional basketball.
