With Josh Howard recovering from a knee injury, Adam Morrison will have a chance at the beginning of the season to grab minutes at the small forward position with the Wizards.

"I like Adam's ability to knock down shots. I like his size," Flip Saunders said of Morrison. "He's going to have a good opportunity. If he can make open shots, it might be beneficial to what we're looking for."

But Morrison said he is no longer concerned with trying to meet the expectations of being the third overall pick.

"I'm just trying to make a team," Morrison said, "but we still got a month left in training camp. We've got a ways to go. I don't really have to live up to anybody except my parents and my family that I have. That's the only people I have to live up to."
