Regardless of who else the Phoenix suns acquire this offseason, the addition of a star point guard is paramount. As I go through the key faces and who the Suns could potentially draft all throughout the lottery, the most important one, more than even Zion Williamson, is Murray State’s Ja Morant.
Ja’s play has earned him a space towards the top of every draft board. We saw both the good and bad of Morant in Murray State’s short stint in the Tournament where he dominated in their victory over Marquette putting up a triple-double and having seemingly full control of the game, but then, against Florida State, we saw some of the bad with Morant struggling with the length and athleticism of FSU, and as he was unable to carry his Murray State team, they were defeated soundly.
