Ja Morant has done a lot in just a few months. He’s broken ankles and gotten the respect of Lou Will. He’s been on a personal dunking revenge tour without even getting dunked on. And most importantly, he’s having fun. But Ja’s also putting up 17.8 points and 6.9 assists on 48% from the field and 39% from 3. Yeah, so I thought it was time to look at Ja Morant and figure out why he’s been so good.
To show how special Ja has been a rookie, here’s a graph from the Athletic on rookie scoring usage vs efficiency, the more upper right you are, the better and there’s Ja who is on par with players like Kyrie’s rookie year. The Grizzlies are somehow 8th in the Western conference. Ja Morant has an extremely wiry frame for someone that able to exert so much force. Morant is 6’ 3”, but only 174 pounds. Even for a rookie, that’s skinny. He’s actually the 5th lightest player in the NBA by listed weight right now. But no one’s really able to push Morant off his spots. Sure defenders might cut him off when he’s trying to drive, but to physically run him off, that doesn’t happen. It’s unusual to say the least, but it can be explained by how low Morant stays while driving. The lower you can stay, the lower your center of gravity is and the more balanced you are. And with a 42 inch vertical, he is a freak.
This was a scouting report of Ja Morant before he was drafted and it’s something that seems simple, but is truly unique. Ja possesses athleticism that is off the charts for a guard. It is not of the same level as Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook, but it is definitely comparable. But the synchronization of his change of pace with his body and change of pace in his handles is crazy. Like on this dunk on Aaron Baynes, Ja Morant goes from a 0 to 100 real quick foot speed wise, but that crossover is wide yet quick enough to match his pace. It’s like what Westbrook does in the fastbreak at times. At the same time, Morant will also slow down his dribble, like to let ball hang in the air. Sometimes he’ll explode off that, other times he’ll keep surveying the floor. He’s like a weird hybrid of Harden and Westbrook. He has that explosiveness, but he’s not relying on it. He can be slithery, methodical while driving to the paint, but he’ll threaten with his speed.
At 6.9 assists, he is certainly making plays Morant can make pretty much every pass imaginable. He’s a flashy passer, he will rifle passes, but most importantly, he’s also a creator. He attacks the rim and creates a lot of opportunities, but he’s also able to see the openings before they happen. We already know that Morant can jump and hang with the best of em in the NBA, but the layup package is creative. One of the best parts of his finishing is that he can use either hand. He’ll go up strong through contact and finish it. He has a nice floater game that works especially when he’s slithering through the paint without much space to take off.
Ja’s 9th in the league in drives per game. Morant wants as many defenders as possible to pay mind to him because it’s just that many more of his teammates that can get open. This makes it that much easier for him to get a pass off to his teammates. Remember that patience I was talking about. He’s always keeping his head up while dribbling and so sometimes he will hold on to the ball while putting some pressure, to see create new openings and also to reshift the defense.
And then there’s his 3 point shooting which is way further along than what was supposed to be. He’s shooting 39% from 3. He’s already using that to threaten a shot because he’s shooting is with confidence.
Perhaps the best part of Ja Morant is his fearlessness. He’s taking over games in the clutch, he doesn’t care who is in the paint, who is in front of him, the moment. He’s just trying to make a play in whatever way he can. That attitude not only lets him play the way he plays, but it also inspires his teammates to just go for it. The Grizzlies are actually the 8th seed in the West. That is crazy, but when you look at Morant and what he’s doing, it starts to make sense. Watching Ja Morant play is exciting, he really is a showstopper and capable of making highlights every night, but there’s more to his game than just the posters and razzling handles. It’s quite a unique combination of athleticism and playmaking mixed in with no regard for human life. So yeah Ja Morant is really good, but what do you think? Will Ja win rookie of the year? Will he eventually become an All-Star? - Sport
Ja Morant really just toyed with the Rockets...is he a future All-Star?
Yeah...Tik Tok: vm.tiktok.com/X55tS1/

Thanks for the ja Morant video
he's definetely a future star, no doubt. its just that we dont know "how" good he's gonna be or how early he'll break out but for sure future all star
yea he’s an all star maybe future mvp
MJ2KALLDAY everything u said in this video you will say about lamelo calling it now
MJ2KALLDAY DUNKED
I dont care if he's better than Zion or anyone.
All I personally hope & wish for Ja Morant is a long healthy career, that's all
Ian Castro Amen
I don’t wish any player any I’ll will but at least we know the nba won’t be done in 5 years
Facts💯
is it only me or anyone notices his landings? is it kinda dangerous?
If he stop trying to dunk on EVERYONE, he should stay healthy. A couple times I've seen him almost get hurt from trying to dunk on a big man.
He’s the whole package. Love seeing these mid major talents take off. Future all star for sure
Gramme Sowell this nigga already an all star, bruh 🤷🏽♂️
Me too
@@Niggalodeon323 Facts. He'll be a all-star next season. Shit I'll vote for him now
@Billy Backwoods He's from Murray State, which is a mid-major college. You're uninformed and hostile, not a good combination.
No
The timing of this video is too good, he jus dropped 26 and 9 on the Rockets
And it was nasty bro 😤🔥
A Dude Yup
lol exact reason im here,been following this boy from day 1
@@DavisNBasketball 10-11 from the field
That was insane!
He’s pretty good on the defensive end too.
I’m going to be honest, if Ja Morant leads the Grizzlies to the playoffs this year as a rookie, I never want to hear the excuse again for Devin Booker or KAT that they can’t make the playoffs just because they’re on a bad team.
☝☝👍
Yessir!
I’ll be using this argument if they make it!
The only thing is the Grizzlies is actually a good team w a bright future. Their building a big 3
But the grizzlies have JJJ aswell who did booker have? And who did KAT have? Wiggins
MJ really made a reel for Aaron Baynes getting dunked on 3:38 😂
The efficiency as a rookie point guard is absolutely insane. He is a killer.
i mean look at ja, his looks and his attude and even his name all scream FUTURE LEGEND
mzudemh all the makings for a legend
Hope he becomes what drose was gonna become
They do..
Ja is definitely my favorite NBA player now...he reminds me a lot of a younger Michael Jordan !! Also, I loved the Dragonball Z sound effects !!
He bought Vc and upgraded his player before playing my career
Ja Morant reminds me of a John Wall/Allen Iverson type player
Speed & Athleticism- J Wall and A.I.
Court Vision- J Wall
Flashiness- J Wall
Change of Pace- J Wall
Ball Handling- A.I.-ish
Etc.
he got the laypus from kyrie tho
Facts all this russ comps need to stop
2 2 fr it makes no sense to compare him to Russ other than him being an athletic point guard
@@user-qu7ie8xw6r welll his idol is westbrook soo yea
Yeah I definitely see a lot of J Wall in him, that's who they should compare him not Westbrook
U the goat bro keep the good work up I started watching recently but love the vids
i love how this got sandwiched right in between the two ja morant vids house of highlights just posted a min ago lol
ja the 🐐
0:42, even James Harden is jealous of that step back.
It’s going to be fun to see Zion realize that he’s going need to step up to keep up with Ja “No mercy” Morant
@Joyce Williams no he isn't
Joyce Williams Zion is overrated he didn’t even play half the season and people sucking his d so much like holy shi
@@idontgetjokes4614 stfu
I feel like I only watch you when I go to sleep
Jake Jaworsky holy shit oh yeah.. I’m doing the same but I only noticed it tonight
I always knew this guy would be great when I saw his highlights in murray state💪
I’ve been considering it for a while.. but with your recognition of Ja.. take this sub man!
great content sir🔥🔥🔥
1:35 after ja almost ended Kevin love did anyone notice that cavs player trip and fall on nothing
A lifetime of hardwork and dedication, that’s it
Great videos bro
This is an amazing video i love the style
You had to put this up after we just got run 😭😭😭
That one game he almost dunk on Kevin love and almost end his career. Imagine he did make it and imagine he quit his career.
🤦🏽♂️
do you even read what you write before posting it...
That was clearly a charge.
Kevin Love been dead for years...
@@eqqqo7784 lol
The first why so good video u made I suggested u do this
Next 3videos didn't come I was like cmon man
Now it's here
YESSIR BABY
Love the vids
He has "it" like his games is low key more well rounded then every comparison I heard because he really dont have a real weakness
I’m early for once and I love it
Great analysis, thoroughly researched. But seriously, the samurai sound effects are hilarious.
His dad built a full-court and trained him since he was 4 years old. He developed his vertical from jumping over tractor tires in Sumter, SC.
Deeeamn that boy good
His vert is actually 5 and a half inches higher than Russ
I think it's more than 42 inches, 44 or 45
Hes solid. Just gotta becareful with some them dunks the way he lands alot looks crazy. He is a beast in the making and deff has all star potential. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
He has excellent change of direction and can do it in a heartbeat to get open. He can finish with either hand and is explosive off the floor. Plus, you have to respect his range on his jumper from three.
😤 Finally somebody shining some light on Memphis cause WE HEREEE
Ja and Shai's balance and level heading playing is so damn appealing to me
good quality vid👍
Im so excited to see ja progress
Dang ja sure does “dunked” on people
I kept telling my homies he was the most NBA ready out of the draft.
Told u man thanks for doin the video
Great vid mj
Edit dunk
Damn rip baynes he’s always getting DUNKED on.
Tbh I didn't even understand why Zion was placed over him in the draft last year
Bigger school more hype bigger body freakish athleticism and he actually uses his athleticism as a defender that you cant really consider beat until the ball is in the bottom of the net. Don't sleep on him he'd be balling out to if not for injury honestly
@@BobIsDaBest25 oh no doubt about that for Zion, but I know for sure Ja should have been #1 and in my opinion at least, offers more to the table.
Shizuka Sensei is actually best girl nah Ja is mostly just offense, zions both
Do you realize now
This man is amazing 💯
He's my new fav player the most complete rookie without all the draft hype that I've seen in sometime which allows a fan to truly watch him do his thing..future all star in my book I think this is what ppl expected ball to look like in his rookie year..
His secret is that
He’s better than Zion
True
Anton Fax
Not true, he’s def better than Booker and Ben Simmons though
Dylan G cap
Zion hasn’t even played tho lol
Ja is very good though and probably is going to be better but you can’t say that for sure yet
our generations Allen Iverson
Ja Morant
Damn bruh illmatic straight sick
Him and JJJ bout to make this a playoff team this year
I just hope his body can handle how aggressively he’s playing, don’t want to see a drose part 2
totally im a d rose fan and if this happen to ja i be so sad
Amen🙏🏽
great point here. explosivness comes at a cost. MoFos that dont ball dont understand it.
Ja Morant is winning the ROTY
Change my mind
Nobody even comes close, runaway ROTY for sure.
Rj Barrett
Nikaveon Wilkins LMAO ikr fr man best rookie
@@pwavy9824 he in scrub town thoug. never make it
Great Video, idk why it wouldn’t pop up in my subscriptions though 🤨
Dunked good video
Jaren Jacksons been great aswell, he just needs to grab more boards cos hes like 6'10
6'11 but weve got jv and others grabbing heaps of boards
@@joshsapsford3339 JV, Clarke and Crowder are our main rebounders. Don't need Jaren to grab 'em with this squad
@Greatboogers your speaking the truth my c
He just needs to stop fouling so much. Once he learns to get control of his long limbs he'll definitely start competing for defensive all nba teams.
Ja will definitely be the goat if he shoots and makes more 3s
Pushing a little too far buddy
fukoff. steph never gonna be the goat just coz he shoots 3s. Ja Morant completely different player. Hes an actual play,aker. He worked hard on all aspects of his game to get there . Not rode in on his pops back just shootn 3s.
New video let’s Go
Sound effects are hilarious 😁😁
Just beat the rockets🔥
Ja's: harden+Nash+Westbrook
More like: Peak Drose + Young MJ + Westbrook
Every time I watch your videos I just wanna say "love your content"
MJ do a video about utah jazz's 10-0 run pls.Love your vids.
Who else thinks Ja gonna be on the all star dunk contest
Ja Morant is like Westbrook but with a basketball brain, LOL
more like deaaron fox
Hes on another level
this guy still talks so slow hahaha
🤣🤣
“His speed just like Westbrook “. “His rookie year just like Westbrook. Damn pick a different person
John Wall with a jump shot.
Love watching this kid play hope he has a great career
2nd love your channel keep up the amazing content
Watching Ja run the transition offense, with those sick no-look passes, brings back memories of Magic orchestrating the SHOWTIME Lakers back in the day.
3:46 lol dragon bal super music
Amazing talent
It is funny when Ja Morant having fun
Good to see my 2k myplayer thriving in the nba
He is a potential 🐐🐐
ROY and multiple all-stars. Only 20 and already controls the pace of the game, changing the whole dynamics of the team (Grizzlies). Last time a rookie did this and this so soon was 1998 Tim Duncan.
Remarkable
I’m watching this video and I get the urge to play some 2k my career. I’m a point guard and of course my next game is against the grizzlies . This guy hard af to stop.
No secret to his sauce he just be stirring fym
Will he be rookie of the year? Yes. Will he be an All Star? Yes. And now a 2 seed in the west. A lot happens in a couple years. Great Vid.
Dunked💪🏾
Real one
Dunked 🔥
Just watched Rockets x Grizzlies. Ja is fantastic. He inspires everyone. Just keep a steady course, and he'll become a basketball legend of his generation.
Love ur videos mj + celtics r going to win
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😭
best breakdown
The Aron Baynes shade tho.....
I think a better comp would be somewhere between john wall and chris paul with his change of pace and his ability to read the defense further enhanced by his athletic ability
Dunked lol 😂😂🔥
Dude is honestly one of the most efficient rookie guard we’ve seen in a bit, normally when a rookie puts up that many point they’re shooting around 40%. Ja is productive and efficient and he’ll be an allstar next year if he keeps it up
Talent and hardwork. It's not that complicated.
Bro he just have fun playing his game it do matter rookie or not 💯
He special 🔥 ⛽ 🏆
Ok so this his favorite move 4:32 getting my scouting report ready for when i see him
Dunked🤟🏾
That man is awesome. Just got his jersey 💯
You helped me appreciate Ja Morant!!! Thank you!!! And I totally share your videos with others... your analysis of why Luka Doncic is amazing is EXACTLY what people who don't understand him need to see!!! I shared it on twitter to Skip Bayless, lol. He doesn't think Luka is "special." If your analysis of his balance, passing, and ability to trick entire defenses doesn't change his mind, then nothing will!!!
