The All-Star starting list has just been announced, and Morant has been selected as a Western Conference All-Star starter, the first time in his career to be an All-Star. It is worth mentioning that Morant beat Doncic and was selected as a Western Conference All-Star starter, which is even more remarkable.
Doncic has been selected as an All-Star starter for the past two seasons, but this season he lost to Morant, who has never been an All-Star, which proves that Morant has really performed well this season. Doncic is the leader of the new generation of players, and Morant, as a latecomer, has a vague tendency to catch up.
Morant can be named an All-Star starter this season and is expected to make the best team, even competing for MVP. So far this season, Morant has averaged 32.5 minutes per game, can get 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and can average the top ten points per game in the league, and the data is a little better than Curry.
Considering that the Grizzlies have a record of third in the West this season, and the Suns and Warriors with better records than the Grizzlies, the advantage is not very large, and there is no suitable MVP candidate in the Suns, Paul and Booker are doing very well, but they are far from the MVP, curry Although he is also an MVP candidate, he has performed very generally in the past period of time, and the possibility of becoming an MVP is not very large. In contrast, Morant's becoming an MVP is still very likely.
If Morant becomes MVP this season, the 22-year-old will be one of the youngest MVPs in history, but unfortunately he can't break Rose's record for the youngest MVP.
