The youngsters of the Grizzles were not seeing JV in the beginning of the season, but in the past 5 games or so J. Morant keeps feeding Jonas, hope this continues as they finally started winning.

Is that JV's best game of his career?

Although the Warriors are the worst team in the conference.

after he got traded to Memphis last year he had a game of 35/20/5/2/2. a few games before that he had 24/23/3 with 4 blocks and the game before he had 33/15 so he has had some huge games for Memphis

Also anyone else find it weird it still says Vancouver. Shouldn't they just change it to Memphis even though it's Vancouver jerseys. Keep the look just put your city on it lmao

I hope Memphis manages to make it to the playoffs. Would be fun to see a matchup vs the Lakers.

jonas averaging 44.6% from 3pt range on 1.5 shots per game. Wonder what his percentage would be if he increased volume

Grizz are in 8th this year and Ja morant looks like he will be a beast for years to come. Honestly, they are playing better than most expected

Ja Morant is probably the most exciting player in the Association. He's also just a good player.

Maybe you meant to post this in the NBA General Off Topic Discussion? lol, but speaking as a Steve Nash enthusiast the most exciting player for me is Trae Young, though I feel like he's getting docked just because of the terribleness of his team, and by association he's being partly blamed for it. I feel like if he went on a winning streak like Ja is then he'd be getting more attention.

Something has to be said about Val just winning wherever he goes. For all the faults ppl lay on him, he makes teams better. He plays hard and gives it his all

JV a beast on defense? I'm pretty sure a big reason he got traded because he was a liability on defense, mainly PnR defense....now Ibaka is becoming a liability on defense the same way that JV was. I haven't watched many Grizzlies games so I don't know if JV got better on defense or if he's still the same. JV was always a beast on offense though.

I mean, this implies he was at fault for the loss. You'd have a point if he was a negative but he was a plus 3. Another former Raptor in Rudy Gay was 1-8.

Its not as much his fault as much that his play style just doesn't elevate others.

That's BS, he had 7 dimes and 2 turnovers, 5rbs 2 stl. DeMar is one of the best passing sgs in the game, has been for yrs now.

Like I said this doesn't make sense on a night he was a positive and when the Spurs went 10/33 from 3.
