Morant has the potential of a superstar, no matter what height he can grow to in the future, at least in the same draft, Morant is the most special, even if Zion, who is regarded as the next ruler of the NBA, was overshadowed by Morant in the third-year season. Yes, we don't deny that Zion is very talented, Zion averaged 27 points per game in the second year season and became the first player in the same class to be selected as an All-Star, Morant is still waiting for the All-Star door to open, and Zion is trying to lose weight and recover from injuries, this is Morant's third-year season, he is healthier and more leadership than Zion.
What is the situation of the Pelicans, the Western Conference record list is clear, even if Zion was selected as an All-Star last season, the Pelicans are the Western Conference's fish belly team, but Morant's Grizzlies have become a playoff team, and Morant is that leader. Morant has improved significantly this season, and Morant has led the team to win in the past 7 games, including the Lakers' final defeat in 2021, Morant used 41 points and 10 rebounds to compete against James's 30+ all-around data, Morant showed his talent in front of James, and even James had to admit Morant's excellence.
The third-year season is a turning point for many new stars, this is their contract year, whether they can get a maximum salary contract in the offseason proves whether their ceiling and potential are highly recognized, obviously Morant will get a maximum salary extension without suspense, the current Grizzlies are the 4th team in the West, and Morant's personal data is not lost to Rose in the MVP period.
The US media posted the data comparison between Rose and Morant, who were also in the third year season, Rose averaged 25 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1 steal per game, and shot 33.2% from three-point range, this season Roshan defeated Howard and James was crowned the youngest MVP in history.
So far this season, Morant has averaged 25 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.39 steals per game, and 39% of the three-point shooting rate, maybe this season's Morant will not be an MVP contender, but Morant's first career all-Star selection is no suspense?
Playing rose MVP period data, there are 41 points and 10 rebounds to win James's game, Morant has no reason to lose this year's All-Star, and the first all-Star vote came out, Morant is in 3rd place in the Western Conference backcourt, only Curry and Doncic, as strong as Paul can only rank 6th, Morant to be able to continue his own data performance before the All-Star game, and the Grizzlies record will not fall too hard, Morant is indeed more qualified to be an All-Star than Zion last season, It's just that the final answer will have to wait until the final release of this year's All-Star vote.
