Some time ago in the All-Star vote, the Grizzlies presided over Morant ranked at the forefront of the West, and many people felt that Morant could become the Western Conference All-Star starter this year. But after watching the last few games, one should realize that while Morant is good, he also has obvious flaws. He may not be up to the level of an All-Star starter at the moment.
Today the Grizzlies and another Western Conference powerhouse, the Lone Rangers, fought, not thinking that the Grizzlies lost miserably, losing to their opponents by double digits. Lone Ranger core Doncic not only led the team to win today, but the data is also stable for Morant. Not surprisingly, Doncic should lock in a starting spot for the Western Conference All-Star.
Morant has improved a lot this season, but in terms of game influence and personal strength, he and Doncic are not in the same level. Doncic really does not exceed his heart, he already has the temperament of a top strongman, he is the strongest star in the NBA. Doncic's form has declined somewhat this season, such as unstable shooting and frequent three-point shooting. However, Doncic has improved significantly on the defensive end this season, becoming a good defender with good top and co-defense skills. The Lone Ranger has been in good shape lately, and his record has continued to improve. Facing the equally powerful Grizzlies, Doncic and the Lone Ranger taught their opponents a lesson.
Counting this game, the Lone Rangers have beaten the Grizzlies three times, and the only team in the league. Today at home the Lone Ranger is even more fluid. The offensive end locked up Grizzlies players other than Morant, who had 38 points, 13 rebounds and six assists today. Although the data is good-looking, Morant used 31 shots today, and the efficiency is average. Doncic had a luxurious statistic of 37 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists today, and only made 25 shots in the game. He also delivered three steals and was resilient defensively. Today the Grizzlies shot less than 40 percent from the field and less than 20 percent from the field, suppressed by the Lone Rangers. The sharp-cut, fast-pressed Grizzlies scored just 91 points today.
As mentioned above, Morant has the disadvantage that Morant's role on the court is that he is a tackler, and if he is given the ball, he can put the ball into the basket. Morant has no dead ends on the offensive end this season, and Morant is good at breakouts, throws, mid-range and three-pointers. The opponent can't give him any space.
Doncic attacked the stronghold and led the team to organize a grasp. Giving Doncic a ball will change the face of the whole team, and Doncic can score points while also driving his teammates. Now he has improved defensively and has become a good offensive and defensive star.
In addition, Morant scored high points last season, although he made a playoff. However, the Jazz, who faced the first round of the playoffs, did not play in full force, and eventually lost miserably and left the game. Doncic has been a 1-on-1 tie with the Clippers in the past two seasons, and last season brought the game into a steal of 7, averaging more than 50% of the 36 points per game. Doncic was only 22 years old when he did all this, and we haven't mentioned the honor of all-stars for a while.
Doncic and Morant are not stars of the same level, although Morant is strong. But he still has room for improvement, and more room to prove himself. The gap between the various players in the NBA is large, and the gap between the stars is larger than we think. Dear readers, how do you rate doncic and Morant's performance today?
