The Memphis Grizzlies are home to one of the most promising young players in the NBA in Ja Morant. At just 21 years old, it’s clear that he is destined to become one of the NBA’s next star players.

In his second season in the league, he’s averaging 18.9 points, 7.4 assists, and 0.9 steals per outing. He has increased his production since his rookie year and is constantly improving as an all-around player. His only weakness this year, 3-point shooting, has been drastically improving as of late.
