Memphis Grizzlies: Ja Morant Captures City’s Heart on Year’s Longest Day

With Friday, June 21st being the longest day of the calendar year in terms of daylight, Ja Morant would probably agree without seeing scientific data to support this statement. After being selected No. 2 overall in Thursday’s NBA Draft, he quickly became integrated with the Memphis Grizzlies organization, the fan base, and Memphians as a whole.

Talk about a whirlwind of events for the 19-year-old point guard out of Murray State. He had a smooth and rather uneventful journey through the pre-Draft process as he was sidelined with a minor injury, plus his high ranking warranted few workout/interview opportunities.
