The sky is just a ceiling for Ja Morant

Ja Morant can easily be the best player in the NBA within a year or two. He is able to score in a plethora of ways and really no way of guarding him, even with his small frame.

With Chris Paul being out for two months, Devin Booker just entered health and safety protocols, the Golden State Warriors dealing with injuries, the Grizz can make one final push for that 1-seed in the Western Conference.

Ja Morant is playing the best basketball of his third season at the right time when each game is vital in playoff seeding implications. In just his past two games, Morant is averaging 49 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and shooting 63 percent from the field and 87 percent from 3-point land.
