Shelden Williams...is a better...inside scorer than Morrison

This really isn't true. Williams is probably the most mechanical player in the post that I've ever seen, at least of players who are All-Americans. Catch ball, plant left shoulder into defender, and go up. Repeat.
Morrison is far more creative, and can score inside despite not having great strength. He's a very crafty scorer who gets it done by altering trajectories, changing angles, mixing up his timing, etc.
That being said, Morrison isn't nearly as well-rounded as everyone is suggesting he is. Announcers have been comparing him to Larry Bird because of his height, lack of athleticism, Caucasian-ness, ugliness, and shooting, and I think that's colored a lot of the public opinion of him. But the guy doesn't pass at all. He's a scorer, that's it.
