JA Morant

PG, Memphis Grizzlies

Ja Morant got the better of Trae Young on Saturday, upstaging him with an impressive performance highlighted by his 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting (4-of-4 from deep).

Morant was all over the place, giving the Hawks all sorts of headaches. He added five rebounds, six dimes, three steals and one block to the box. While his 4-of-6 run at the free throw line and the six committed turnovers might have soured his already sweet line a bit, his overall performance was laudable and simply impressive, making him one of the more intriguing sophomores to watch out for in 2020-21.
