Ja Morant

SirTommyWinAlot · 10-18-2019, 07:54 PM

Anybody else jumping on Morant rookies? I was looking at both zion and ja but with zion's bum knee i might weigh my collection more towards ja. He still has some growing to do and might not bust out this year in the points department but he's going to make a lot of highlight reel players. Just made one a minute ago with a behind the back pass.

even with zions knee issues i still think morant will be the better player, call me crazy.
what that being said i will be buying morant rookies when he actually has rookie cards for sale there are none yet.

eh. rarely does the hobby care about more than one player per draft

Memphis is a great place for the next hobby stud

Did anyone think Kansas City would be a great place for one of the biggest hobby studs in any sport?

Is Ja a pure PG, or more of a hybrid SG?

packerfan4200 · 02-09-2020, 08:27 PM

Ja Mon with the 1st career triple double! 27, 10, 10, 1, and 1 in 35 min

Because being drafted by a team means you play your whole career there, right?

Yeah playing in Dallas has really been harsh on Luka’s stuff too...

SirTommyWinAlot · 10-18-2019, 08:12 PM

Just made a sick drive for a layup. Smooth. And another nice pass.

STUD.

I think he could be really good a la Trae Young or meh like DSJ. He's not as good of a shooter as Young but he's got DSJ's athleticism. Problem is he's a bit undersized, so I worry a bit about that early on if his shots aren't falling. Crafty in the paint though, and a really good distributor. Not sure if that's enough of a combination for long term hobby sustenance though.

PKIPP · 10-18-2019, 08:17 PM

Not really feeling it tbh. Better than RJ Barrett tho..

RJ's beasting tonight, ironically lol.

Ja's fun to watch though, can't lie. Grizz could be fairly good in a few years. Still way too young right now.

^ Yeah he needs to strengthen up and fill out a little bit more before he has the potential to really take off.

He plays smart though and gives good effort.

ThoseBackPages · 10-18-2019, 08:18 PM

Pump Pump Pump IT UP!

SirTommyWinAlot · 10-18-2019, 08:21 PM

^No cards to pump up!

Another sick pass. Freakin' Ja Cousy over here.

Yeah I just don't see him light the league on fire as a rookie like a lot of people are thinking. I think outside of Zion, the rest of the rookies from this draft are guys that will need to develop more before they are actually ready to produce. Ja will be one of the better players from it though, no doubt.

We've been spoiled by the past two draft classes with guys who started and impacted their team from day one.

I agree. Majority are 1-3 year projects. RJ will probably fill the stat sheet just because of his surrounding cast...they're going to let him do whatever he wants like Westbrook (on probably 40% shooting and an ungodly amount of TO's).

And so it shall be.
