Darius Morales brings size, defense, and old-school frontcourt grit to East Carolina
Darius Morales, a 6-foot-9 forward/center from Timber Creek High School in Orlando, entered East Carolina as a defense-first big with solid recruiting buzz, including an ESPN grade of 82 in the 2009 class. He was praised in coverage as a defense-minded player looking to add skills, which points to a low-drama, team-fit kind of frontcourt piece who can do the dirty work, protect the paint, and compete physically. If your team wants a bruiser with length and a workmanlike mentality more than a polished scoring option, he’s the type worth a hard look.
