Iowa State’s Monte Morris is now a member of the Denver Nuggets. Morris was selected in the second round with the 51^st pick in the 2017 draft.

The Flint, Michigan native was an All-American for the Cyclones as a senior when he averaged 16.5 points per game. He is the NCAA all-time single-season and career leader in assist to turnover ratio.

Morris is the 38^th former Cyclone to be drafted. Iowa State has had 11 players drafted since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1996. This is the second consecutive year a Cyclone has been taken in the second round after Georges Niang was selected by the Indiana Pacers last year.
