NBL EXPERIENCE
Mike Morrison made his NBL debut with the Geelong Supercats at 25 years of age. He scored 22 points in his first game.
After the team was gutted in 1992, a move which resulted in Geelong finishing with just two wins for the season, the Supercats were able to regroup, and add to their wafer thin roster. Ray Borner (via North Melbourne) arrived to fill a gaping hole inside and imports Bobby Locke and and Chris Williams were replaced by Adrian Branch, who had won a NBA championship with the Lakers in 1987, and Mike Morrison, who had just finished up a stint with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.
The team was lead by it’s starters, Branch (26.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.9 steals), Morrison (22.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 2.2 steals), Cecil Exum (16.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 steals), Borner (16.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks) and Vince Hinchen (14.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals) with very little coming from the bench.
The starting five all played a minimum of 35 minutes a game, with only Wayne Larkins (6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.2 steals) playing meaningful minutes off the bench. All in all the team basically played with six players for the entire season.
With three rounds left, Geelong sat equal last with Hobart and Townsville, all three team’s sitting on four wins. Geelong, however, reeled off three wins in a row to end the season, knocking off Sydney (126–115), Gold Coast (113–108) and fourth placed Brisbane (118–115) to end the season on a high note.
Breheny resigned as coach of the Supercats at the end of the season, after a dispute over his handling of import player Adrian Branch.
Mike Morrison played one season in the NBL. He averaged 22.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4 assists in 26 NBL games.
CAREER RANKINGS:
– 27th in steals per game.
