ITHACA, N.Y. – Former Cornell men's basketball player Matt Morgan recently completed a tremendous week for the Toronto Raptors at the 2021 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nev. 

Morgan averaged 11.3 points in just 14.7 minutes per game over four contests, shooting 57 percent from the floor, 50 percent from 3-point range (on 4.5 attempts per game) with 2.5 assists, 1.0 rebounds and a 3:1 assist:turnover ratio. Of players who saw action in at least four games in Last Vegas and made at least two 3-pointers per contest, his 50 percent shooting (9-of-18) from beyond the arc ranked second. The Raptors went 4-1 in five total games.

Morgan has spent the last two years playing for the Raptors 905 of the NBA G-League, averaging 7.9 points, 2.2 assists and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 42 percent from the floor overall and 37 percent from 3-point range. He was even better during the 2021 playoffs, averaging 17.5 point, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals while connecting on 54 percent of his shots from beyond the 3-point arc.

Cornell's all-time leading scorer, Morgan graduated with career records for points scored (2,333), scoring average (20.5 ppg.), field goals made (743), field goals attempted (1,580) and free throws made (513), season records for points scored (687 in 2018-19) and 3-pointers made per game (3.32 in 2018-19), and game records for 3-pointers in a game (9, twice). In addition, he ranks in the top 10 in career 3-pointers made (second, 334), games started (second, 112), minutes played (third, 3,705), games played (third, 113), free-throw percentage (fourth, .834) and assists (eighth, 296) and just outside the top 10 in steals (12th, 126).

The four-time All-Ivy pick was a Lou Henson All-American as a junior, a two-time NBA Draft early entrant and the all-time leading freshman scorer in conference history. Morgan was an eight-time Ivy Player of the Week and a five-time conference rookie of the week pick. The second leading scorer in Ivy League history with 2,333 points, he finished behind only Princeton's Bill Bradley (2,503), becoming the sixth Ivy League and 574th Division I basketball player to surpass 2,000 career points. He compiled an 80-game streak of scoring in double figures - an Ivy record and the 12th-longest in NCAA history. Morgan was a two-time first-team and two-time second-team All-Ivy pick, joining Big Red greats Bob DeLuca, John Bajusz, Louis Dale, Ryan Wittman and Shonn Miller as the only players in school history to be named All-Ivy first team more than once.
