Ja Morant is one of the most notable young stars in the NBA.
At one point, he looked as if he would become a future face of the league.
While that hasn’t happened, Morant is still an All-Star caliber guard who generates a lot of buzz from fans.
While Grizzlies fans likely will not enjoy hearing Russillo’s comments, he makes fair points about the 25-year-old.
The two-time NBA All-Star finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 30.9% from the three-point range in 50 games.
Kevin O’Connor of Yahoo Sports also sent out an intriguing post about Morant (on Sunday).
O’Connor wrote: “Ja Morant is overrated by Grizzlies fans. Subpar from 3. Inconsistent defense. This year got to the rim a career-low % of the time. Rarely healthy. Hasn’t played in 75% of games in a year since 2021. Morant is somewhere around the NBA’s 40th to 50th best player. Good, not great.”
