Randolph Morris was a no-show at the Atlanta Hawks' rookie camp Monday as the Atlanta native instead pursued the possibility of returning for his sophomore season at the University of Kentucky.

Morris entered last month's NBA draft but said he was protecting his college options by not signing with an agent. Morris was not drafted.

Hawks general manager Billy Knight said Monday he arranged with Morris' family members for Morris, a 6-foot-10 center, to participate in the Hawks' rookie camp this week as an undrafted free agent. Morris was listed on the Hawks' rookie roster Monday and was to compete on the Hawks' summer league team in the Rocky Mountain Review July 15-22 in Salt Lake City.

Knight said he was not given a warning that Morris would not attend Monday's opening practice of the camp.

"We have not heard anything about Randolph Morris or the people we've talked to about him. Nothing," Knight said.
