Juwan Morgan

Both of his parents served in the United States Army, and their son's game grew with matching discipline at Indiana — from 2.4 points a game as a freshman to second-team All-Big Ten honors as a junior averaging 16.5. Undrafted in 2019, Morgan signed a two-way contract with Utah that November and spent two seasons between the Jazz and the Salt Lake City Stars.

The travels since have been eventful: a 10-day with Toronto, then a spring 2022 contract with Boston that carried him all the way to the NBA Finals, where the Celtics fell to Golden State in six games. He went on to Runa Basket Moscow and now plays for Budućnost VOLI of the ABA League.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted, he signed an Exhibit 10 deal in August 2019, was waived in the preseason, and came back on a two-way contract that November.
