Adam Morrison has performed well over the first two weeks of camp with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Terry Stotts has praised the work ethic, shooting ability and defensive effort of Morrison.

"I hope so," Morrison said about whether he will remain with the team once the regular season begins. "(Blazers management) told me to come here and be myself, try to get baskets and battle on defense. And that's what I've been doing. I know everybody is going to nit pick about my ability and my past, but I'm just here to play as best as I can and see what happens." 

Morrison has new competition for a roster spot, as the Blazers claimed small forward Justin Holiday off waivers on Friday.

"It would mean a lot to be able to look myself in the mirror and say, 'I did it.'" Morrison said. "But if I don't make it, at least I can look myself in the mirror and say, 'I didn't go out like a sucker,' and walk away knowing that I didn't just give up. Obviously it would mean the world if I made it back. But for me, just being able to look myself in the mirror and know that I'm not a quitter is enough."
