The Grizzlies have reached the Western Conference semifinals to draw 1-1 with the Warriors, and the Fat Tigers have begun to talk to the Pelicans about contract extensions. Sometimes it's hard to say whether the draft is a matter of luck or not. The 19-year draft is actually a draft conference with no suspense, of course, it is only for the position of the champion! At that time, it was obvious that Fat Tiger rode the dust, and when he announced his participation in the draft, he was almost locked in the draft, and the endorsements on Fat Tiger when he did not enter the NBA were already unclear. The whole league knows that fat tigers could be the next James!
That's right, the praise for him at that time was so high! Because that physical talent is almost incomparable among the players of the same generation, whether it is athletic ability or ball business skills, fat tigers are very good, so he debuted pelicans did not think, the champion is him, directly won. It can be said that in the 19-year draft, the light of the Fat Tiger almost covered up the characteristics and energy of all the other players left, and few people paid attention to who it would be at this time, because everyone came to see the yuan. At the end of the draft, Fat Tiger was surrounded by reporters, and at that time he seemed to have become a superstar in the league.
At that time, the list eye show was Morant, although the light of the fat tiger covered up most of the draft players of the same year, but he was the eye show. You have to admire the Grizzlies' draft vision, many people think that Morant's draft template is Wei Shao, in fact, wrong, at that time Morant has not shown such a vigorous physical quality, his draft template is only Daron Fox. Got Morant's first rookie season, in fact, the Grizzlies perceived something, Morant this young man can be the team's ball-holding core, the Grizzlies' team building ideas are clear at once, began to build a team around Morant.
The following year, Morant took the Grizzlies into the playoffs, even if it wasn't far away, but Morant gave the Grizzlies a glimpse of the future. Morant has been shining directly this season, last season he still averaged 19.1 points per game, and this season is already averaging 27.4 points per game, and Morant has grown. And not only did he grow up, but he also led the team to the second place in the West, and once became a team that no one in the league wanted to meet. And this season's playoff Morant has led the team to the second round, and in fact, Morant is still less than 23 years old, and the Grizzlies really chose the right person.
Compared to Zion, who won the Pelicans' 19-year signing, it may give the Pelicans 100 more chances, and the Pelicans will choose the Fat Tiger 99 times, but now it is undeniable that Morant is indeed the best player in the 19-year draft. If nothing else, In three years, Morant led the team to the playoffs twice, while the Fat Tigers played only 85 games in three years and have been plagued by injuries. And in the future, do you dare to say that the fat tiger must be stronger than Morant? You could say that last season, but this season Morant played!
