High-Motor EIU Forward with Real Defensive Upside
McMorris is a 6'7" Eastern Illinois forward who has developed into a disruptive, high-effort frontcourt piece, highlighted by strong rebounding and shot-blocking impact; in the 2025-26 season, he averaged 7.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 5.3 blocks per game in 30 games, while a 2025-26 team note said he had become EIU’s rebounding leader at 7.4 per game and ranked third in the OVC. His appeal is his defensive ceiling, active hands, and physical toughness—he can swing possessions without needing plays called for him, which makes him a useful fit for teams needing energy, rim protection, and glue-guy production rather than pure shot creation.
