Zion Williamson, Ja Morant drama has RJ Barrett emerging as 2019 draft class savior

The 2019 NBA Draft class has been under constant scrutiny lately because of Ja Morant and Zion Williamson’s actions, so much so that the New York Knicks have been considered lucky for drafting RJ Barrett at No. 3.

Morant and the Grizzlies had a rough go at it this season between the 23-year-old’s suspension and Dillon Brooks’ antics that resulted in the Lakers eliminating the team in the first round. The offseason hasn’t stopped Memphis from being at the center of NBA news. In an Instagram Live video on May 13, Morant was seen flashing a gun in the background.
