Ja Morant: Steph Curry and Damian Lillard opened the door for players like me | 2019 NBA Draft

[@Lakerbeatmaker]

This guy has all time great PG potential. Explosive athlete, good shooter, excellent passer, and a good defender!🔥🔥🔥 Wish we had the no. 2 pick...

[@lukasmvp6964]

If you're a Lakers fan, you still have Steph Curry with 40 inch vertical. He still might improve his shooting, his passing is good, defence is pretty good too.

I'm watching this in 2022 and Ja Morant is having one of the best seasons. He's averaging 24.6 points. Every game I watch he drops like 40 points. He's one of my favorite players to watch and i hope he continues to grow.

So basically this dude started watching basketball in like 2013. There were plenty of greats who paved the way for all players way before lillard or curry was even born. Think about a tiny archibald who was 6 feet but led the league in both points in assists in the same season or a Calvin Murphy who helped bring Houston rockets on the map when they had no other stars at the time and he was only 5’9.
