The best point guard prospect in the entire draft class, Ja Morant, is also one of the best point guard prospects that we’ve seen in quite a while.
Morant comes into the league as one of the more polished lead-guard prospects since Chris Paul came out in 2005.
Point Guard since New Orleans drafted Wake Forest Point Guard Chris Paul in 2005. This time is no different and if New Orleans is looking to rebuild, Ja Morant would be the perfect player to restart the Pelicans franchise.
Morant has Damian Lillard type confidence and talent that an organization and city could get behind and build a lasting culture around.
