Ja Morant and Zion Williamson are as advertised, New Orleans Pelicans would be blessed to land either future NBA star

We’re just days into the 2019 edition of March Madness, but we’ve already been blessed with salivating performances from Ja Morant and Zion Williamson. The two biggest apples in a lot of eyes will have at least another go-round as both of their respected teams remain alive, with Murray State playing later today against Florida State (5:10 Central tip-off) and Duke battling University of Central Florida tomorrow at 4:15 PM Central.

Morant posted a jaw-dropping line of 17 points, 16 assists and 11 rebounds in the first round on Thursday, becoming just the eighth player in NCAA Tournament history to record a triple-double, and he’s already promised an encore.
