Versatility~ a coaches ace in the hole

When you have a player that is more than one dimensional, it allows the coach more options with fewer players; a way to attack an opponents weak areas. Lack of turnovers, being able to make the correct pass and deliver it to the right area in a rhythmic fashion is ultra valuable. A few nights ago in the Lakers "lucky" victory at Orlando, Kobe Bryant kicked out the ball to Derek Fisher who unleashed his lefty bomb that sent the game into overtime.

Defending, rebounding, scoring, shooting, ball handling and being selfless is a pretty good arsenal for a young basketball player. Add to that a touch of height, and lots of physical upside, and you have quite a prospect.

Check out Brock Morton, Class of 2009.

High schools ALL TIME LEADING SCORER that has pass first mentality-

Brock was used strictly as a #2 guard for Team Oklahoma, his AAU team from last summer. Several coaches say Brock could be similar to Blake Stepp [Gonzaga] or Pat Calathes [Florida]. The bottom line with Brock is that he will do whatever the coach asks of him, and whatever the team needs.
