DON NELSON SUCCESS INFO
DON NELSON NEWSMorrow emerging as Warriors starSportsline [11/19/2008] Anthony Morrow can still walk without incident from his downtown hotel to the BART trains that sometimes take him to the Golden State Warriors' arena. Most of Oakland's famously enthusiastic hoops fans haven't yet put a face to the name that hit their favorite team's starting lineup like a thunderbolt last weekend. After back-to-back dazzling games in his first two NBA starts, the undrafted rookie from Georgia Tech probably won't be unknown much longer. Morrow followed up his 37-point starting debut against the Clippers last Saturday with 25 more Tuesday night against Portland in a game that began with a standing ovation. Not every Warriors fan knows his face yet, but they can't wait to see what Morrow will do next. "We're the only real basketball team around in a city that loves basketball, so that's great for us," Morrow said. "It's exciting to get that kind of reception for what you do." Just a few weeks after Morrow was wondering whether he'd have to play in Ukraine this winter, he is Golden State's starting shooting guard. Corey Maggette and captain Stephen Jackson already see him as an equal, and coach Don Nelson is talking about building parts of his famed offense around Morrow. "He's the real deal, and we haven't even learned how to play with him yet," Nelson said. "I told the team that we'd better know where this guy is at all times. We'd better get him open, because he looks like the real deal."
