This season, Morant can be said to have risen to another height, and being selected as an All-Star is a foregone conclusion. The Grizzlies are third in the West with 31 wins and 15 losses as of the date before yesterday.
As of the 20th, he has averaged 32.3 minutes per game this season, averaging 24.4 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.3 fouls, shooting 48.7% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and averaging 4.2 three-point shots per game.
Then this 19-year-old show, when he was in high school, was still an obscure player, and no one knew his name. The university attended Murray State University, a school that was also not well known. So how did Morant fight back, and how was the draft report evaluated that year? Let's take a look:
University: Murray State University, record: 28-5, stop crazy three rounds, grade: sophomore;
Position: Point Guard;
Height: 6'3 / 1.91m;
Weight: 175 lbs / 79 kg;
Arm span: 6 feet 7.
Templates: ND: Daron Fox; DX: Vacant; The Ringer: John Wall, Donovan Mitchell, DSJ.
Scouting Reports:
Advantages: With this excellent athletic ability and organizational skills, you can create offensive opportunities not only for yourself but also for your teammates. He has a point guard position with a height of 6 feet 3 and an arm span. He leads the NCAA with 9.3 assists per game. Can use their own predictions and field vision, supplemented by imaginative passes to help teammates score points easily. Not afraid to fight against the opponent's body, but also willing to use the body to fight to win fouls. There is an elite level of speed, agility and explosive first steps for point guards. Have leadership qualities and determination. His dribbling speed allowed him to quickly pass the defender in front of him. The ability to handle the ball is his leading skill at the moment. He has the ability to change direction in dribbling. Can shoot three points. The course propulsion handled particularly well. Ability to fool defenders with his feet and finish at the basket. Play with confidence. Averaged 1.8 steals per game. Good at getting free throws, averaging 7 hits per game. Playing is very witty. I turned 19 in August this year, which is a very young age for my sophomore year, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Weakness: Requires consistent three-point shooting. Hit ability is not stable. Shooting, especially three-pointers, has potential to be tapped, and now the 3-point shooting percentage is 30 percent. Sometimes I want to pass the ball too much. It also leads to steals or conceded balls in dribbling. Mistakes must be reduced and the value of the ball more important. Growing pains. More adaptation is needed to block the attack. Sometimes the tendency to shoot from the outside is so pronounced that it is blocked. Thinner bodies require weight gain, to finish and play against opponents with better dribbling, and not to be eaten hard by other body-type point guards in the league.
