The American forward (2.07, 28) who played for Hapoel Jerusalm was offered to Maccabi and signed after a short negotiation
Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv signed shot-blocking forward Terence Morris. Two days after renewing point guard Will Bynum through 2009, Maccabi tabbed Morris (2.06 meters, 28 years old) for inside help after having seen him up close as a force for archrival Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem all last season.
Morris helped Hapoel win the Israeli Cup and reach the quarter-finals of the ULEB Cup.
Morris put up big numbers in the Israeli League last season: 13 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.
Before Hapoel, Morris had played at the University of Maryland for four years, the Houston Rockets for two more. He spent one other season in Europe, at Apollon Patras of Athens, where he led the Greek league in blocks. In 2005-06 he returned to the NBA with the Orlando Magic, but last season returned to Europe when he signed by Hapoel.
