For the 3rd overall pick, Morrison was horrible. Especially given what Brandon Roy who was picked 3 picks later and plays the same position has become.

The above is really semantics though. Jordan may have not done the best job in his previous stead with the Wizards but I think he learned a lot and is very much improved from that time. I would prefer Jordan.
Morrison was beyond horrible before his ACL. He shot 37%, was possibly the worst rebounder in the league for his size and the amount of minutes he played. Overall he was just extremely inefficient. He had a 7.91 PER playing 30mpg. An average players PER is around 15. Believe me plenty of people saw this coming too. Morrison was an all or nothing pick.

Yes but my overall point was more that revisionist history of course doesn't shine well on the Morrison pick but at the time, I certainly don't remember that many people poo pooing the pick. I'm probably being too kind to MJ on that one though...I will agree that the pick was at least somewhat iffy/controversial.
