Anthony Jarrad Morrow (born September 27, 1985) is an American professional basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m), 210 lb (95 kg; 15 st) shooting guard played college basketball at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He went undrafted in the 2008 NBA draft but was later signed by the Golden State Warriors and is now considered one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA.
After going undrafted in the 2008 NBA draft, Morrow joined the Golden State Warriors for the 2008 NBA Summer League. On July 24, 2008, he signed with the Warriors.
In his first NBA start, he scored 37 points on 15-for-20 shooting against the Los Angeles Clippers—the most points ever scored in a game by an undrafted player in his rookie season—and grabbed 11 rebounds. Morrow finished the 2008–09 season as the first rookie and first Warrior ever to lead the league in three-point field goal shooting, going 86-for-184 for a .467 percentage.
Morrow re-joined the Warriors for the 2009 NBA Summer League, where he scored 47 points for the Warriors in a game against the New Orleans Hornets – setting the record for the most points scored by an individual in a game at the NBA Summer League.
In the 13th game of the 2009–10 NBA season, Morrow set a new career high with 6 three point makes in a victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
On July 13, 2010, Morrow was traded to the New Jersey Nets for a future second-round draft pick.
At the end of the 2010–11 NBA season, Morrow had the second highest 3-point percentage in history (behind Steve Kerr).
