In response to SRP
Wow, I completely disagree. When Morales is in the game, the opposing team immediately targets him, forcing someone to double or help, and eventually leading to an open three pointer. Look how bad the Tigers' team defense was against FDU and St. Joe's.
Now the Tigers are playing great team defense, and it starts because all five starters (Aririguzoh, DesRosiers, Stephens, Cannady, Llewellyn) can guard their opponent one-on-one, without the constant need for help or double-teams. Llewellyn had two of the biggest defensive plays in the game, stopping a fast break without fouling and then drawing a charge on Woods, and has done a great job on Devon Goodman in both games.
Morales is super quick and does get lots of steals, but he also gambles and gets beat a lot, and his lack of size means that opposing teams post him up. Morales is great for 10-15 minutes a game as a change-of-pace guard, but I don't think he should be playing much more than that.
