5. Memphis Grizzlies
I had some concerns about the Memphis Grizzlies but it seems as if every time I question this team, Ja Morant continues to remind me (and everyone else for that matter) that he’s an absolute superstar. He continues to prove everyone wrong and carry the Grizzlies to new heights.
No Jaren Jackson Jr.? It doesn’t matter. Morant has been so good this season that you can hardly tell the Grizzlies are missing one of their key players. Desmond Bane has also continued to improve as an individual player and is quickly evolving into a supporting star next to Morant.
At least for now, you can make a strong argument that Morant has been the MVP through the first couple of weeks of the regular season. I don’t think there should be any more questions about Morant. He’s the real deal. He’s a superstar.
