Former Michigan point guard Darius Morris, who decided to enter the NBA draft after his sophomore season, is making his way up many draft boards.
At 6-foot-4, Morris impressed many scouts with his size and ball-handling, and is predicted by be drafted in the first round, after initial uncertainty when he declared for the draft last month.
NBADraft.net predicts that the Knicks will draft Morris with the No. 17 pick and thehoopsreport.com has him going to the Trail Blazers at No. 21. ESPN.com's Chad Ford thinks that Morris is just outside the first round, but one of the "next five" to be selected.
Morris participated in a three-on-three workout with the Indiana Pacers on Thursday at Conseco Fieldhouse, along with Purdue forward/center JaJuan Johnson, Georgetown point guard Chris Wright, Kansas guard Josh Selby, Richmond power forward Justin Harper and Villanova point guard Corey Fisher.
In a video interview on Pacers.com, Morris was confident about Thursday's workout for the Pacers, who have the No. 15 pick in the first round and 12th pick (No. 42) in the second round.

"I feel like I did well. We've been working out hard all that time and you expect to do well out here. Everybody here belongs here and you just have to go out there and practice hard every day," Morris said. "I have to show that I can come in and provide a different look at the point-guard position, being tall and lengthy and also being able to get in there and my passing ability is a plus on my side. They already have two great guards here, but I can just add a different look."

"You have to focus on each workout coming up. For a lot of us, it was a combine and now it's each individual one — you can't overlook any one," Morris said on

He said teams have expectations — as he does — for prospects in the workout process.
"(They expect) you to work hard every day and take advantage of the opportunity of being on the NBA level. You can't take it for granted. It's my dream and I'm going to push at it and go hard every day. I expect that they believe I'm going to get better," Morris said.
