In the Memphis Grizzlies last game against the Wizards, Ja Morant had himself a night. Of course, games like this by him are not out of the norm, but they do not happen on a daily basis.
At just 19 points a game and seven assist a game, Ja Morant has improved from last season. Maybe the most noticeable improvement from Morant’s first year and his second would be his leadership.
In the last few games especially, you can see that improvement. It’s safe to say that without Jaren Jackson Jr., there needs to be a second voice in the locker room, and Morant has stepped up.
