Recently, Warriors star Klay Thompson's father, Michael Thompson, tweeted: "Ja Morant's athleticism is the strongest of all point guards, followed by Rose in second place and Westbrook third!" ”。
Since the beginning of the game, Morant has averaged 35.3 minutes per game, can get 35 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 58% from the field and 44.4% from three-point range, temporarily ranking first in the scoring list, and the Grizzlies have also achieved an excellent record of 2 wins and 1 loss under the leadership of Morant.
I have to say that Jia Morant, the 19th leader, has indeed performed much better than cairn Williamson of the same year in the past two years. In his rookie season, he was able to win the award of the best rookie of 19 years with a personal data of 17.8 points and 7.3 assists per game, and last season led the Grizzlies to beat Curry head-on in the playoffs and entered the playoff stage for the first time in his career.
And more importantly, in such a commercial league as the NBA, Morant's personal style of play is also very attractive, the first two seasons have tried to block Gobert these super big center scene needless to say, this season alone, Morant as a point guard, but in terms of interior scoring, with an average of 20.7 points per game personal data ranked first in the league, than Jokic these super center inside score is even higher, it can be seen how exaggerated Morant's impact on the basket in the game.
And in the data of second offensive scoring, Morant also ranks 7th in the league with an average of 4.7 points per game, second only to Turner and Adams, who are known for their rebounding ability in the past, and is also the only defender player in the league's top 8, this exaggerated offensive scoring ratio makes Morant look like a thin point guard at all, even if he is a strong forward who mainly impacts the inside line.
Maybe as Clay's father said, the NBA has finally ushered in Morant, a supernova who can rank at the top of history in terms of athleticism, after all, from the visual effects alone, Morant is not worse than the MVP superstar performance of rose and Westbrook in the same period, what do you think? What kind of point can Morant grow in the future? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss~
