But while the consensus was that he would have been a Top-5 pick in the 1999 NBA draft had he left school after that year along with teammate Steve Francis, Morris instead opted to return to Maryland for his junior and senior seasons, and his draft stock dropped after two less individually successful campaigns.

Morris helped play Maryland to the first Final Four in school history during the 2001 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament to cap his senior season.

After being waived by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2004, he decided to move to Europe and signed with Apollon Patras of the Greek League.

He then transferred to the Russian Super League club CSKA Moscow[4] and he reached another EuroLeague competition final in the 2008–09 season.

In 2009, he joined the Spanish ACB League club FC Barcelona,[5] with whom he won his first EuroLeague competition in 2010.
