Teniya Morant Is MORE THAN Ja Morant's Sister | More Than A Name | TOGETHXR

Teniya Morant bears a striking resemblance to her older brother Ja Morant, star guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. Aside from that, the feisty hooper has a game and a name of her own. Niya takes us through her training, her goals as she looks onto college ball and what separates her from one her biggest fans in Ja. She's not Ja Morant's little sister, she's just Niya.

Idk, she probably won’t make it to the W but maybe she can go somewhere overseas. She’s gotta focus on getting college offers first.

[@manisinterlude]

@@warstars8382 how yk….

[@warstars8382]

@@manisinterlude well she’s not ranked in the espnw top 100 and last i heard (from other vids) she doesn’t have any offers. That alone hurts her chances. Lets say she gets offers, she’s better suited for low D1, possibly D2/3 so her getting exposure would be difficult. There’s only so many spots available for rookies in the W so she probably won’t get drafted. Overseas with its many options would make more sense. There are many low level D1 and D2 players who go overseas, not necessarily a country’s top league but she could end up in 2nd or 3rd division.

[@rohandavey4954]

@@warstars8382 Ja wasn't ranked either, and went to a smaller school. People were swearing up and down he wouldn't be much either even in March Madness, right up until the draft. Nothing's written in stone yet, she just might surprise everyone like her brother did. We'll see.

These kids have a upper hand in life with both parents being involved and together. It's funny how some say the Ball's and Morant's fathers are odd because of the pride they have in their children. 🤷‍♂️ They are the same ones who wish their parents show some confidence in them.

[@alifrombenhill3374]

Folks get mad at these flamboyant father's like the Ball's dad, Morants dad, etc but what's lost is they are still married to their mothers and they were always with their children and their children are productive, respectful members of society that have never been in troubles. And their kids are family oriented.

[@jennifercoleman9626]

There is nothing flamboyant about Mr. Morant, he should never be compared to the Ball's. Mr. Ball is talking loud and saying nothing and love to showboat and trying to live his life through his kids. Mr. Morant is humble and low key. Hope that Niyah succeed and become a household name like her brother.

[@alifrombenhill3374]

@@jennifercoleman9626 Bruh he is flamboyant. I wasn't critical of him. But he is everywhere and the NBA makes him a focal point now. Nothing wrong with that. I'm defending him against the criticism he gets.

[@jennifercoleman9626]

I understand, flamboyant can be taken positively or negatively, with Mr. Ball he more about attention and theatrics. Mr. Morant is more sophisticated and more confident, they just have different approaches to how they interact with their children, but I respected their differences.
