With Zion being my #1 pick, the next guy I’d take in this draft is Ja Morant. High ceiling with a not-so-low-floor (meaning even if he’s not an All-Star, he should still be a meaningful NBA player). At first, I thought he was a Rondo-type PG (uber talented PG without a perimeter game). But Morant is an 80% shooter from FT on 8 attempts per game, and though not lights out, he’s knocking down 32% of his 3’s on more than 4 attempts per game. Meaning, he has a perimeter game, though it doesn’t shine like other parts of his game.
Where Morant does his damage is within the arc. It’s hard stopping a speed guy who has slick handles and creativity.
And not only does he score (24ppg) but he passes the rock (10apg), rebounds (5rpg), steals (almost 2 per game) and blocks shots (just under 1 per).
A case can be made for Morant to go #1 over Zion. But for now, I’ll have Morant go second.
