1. Ja Morant, Murray State
It’s no surprise that Ja Morant has found himself atop the point guards list, as he’s climbed up the overall rankings too. In some mocks, Morant is being taken in the top 3 – ahead of Cam Reddish, the third fiddle at Duke.
With that said, Morant has done more than enough to warrant such a rise. Moran is averaging 25 points, five rebounds and 10 assists per game this season, but has really caught the eyes of draft geeks with his high flying athletic ability and his game-changing highlights.
At 6-foot-3, and listed at only 175 pounds, there’s no question that he still has filling out to do before he makes his way to the NBA, but the hype around Morant is real.
Expect him to be taken in the top 5, possibly higher, at the 2019 NBA Draft. And in a guard-driven NBA, he’s going to be welcomed with open arms at the next level.
