Is there another road other than “The Road to Zion?”

While Knicks fans are going gaga over Duke man-child and potential No. 1 pick Zion Williamson, college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg is saying nah and hailing Ja.

That is Murray State sophomore point guard Ja Morant, climbing ferociously up the mock-draft boards alongside some of his highlight dunks. And the 6-foot-3 point guard is eliciting superlatives from ESPN’s esteemed college expert Greenberg, the former Virginia Tech coach who hails from Long Island.

In an interview with The Post on Monday, Greenberg used the word “ridiculous” to describe Morant a half-dozen times, particularly in regards to the point guard’s court awareness.
