It's not that Michel Morandais has been overtly glutinous over the past year.
He was, however, the player who probably was most in need of the three-day mini-camp Team Colorado held in Boulder last week.
For the first time since he graduated from the University of Colorado in 2004, Michel Morandais spent the winter at home instead of on a basketball floor in some foreign country. Unlike Team Colorado teammate Richard Roby, whose near-sabbatical for the 2017-18 season was forced by injury, Morandais has quietly slid into retirement at his Miami home.
Morandais was coaxed off the sofa for another run later this month with Team Colorado in The Basketball Tournament, with the potential $2 million payoff too alluring to pass.
