Grizzlies so good, but Ja feels so irrelevant these days. Why?

Ja Wick was exciting, explosive, superstar, and he had street cred.

Ja Morant is calm, less explosive, and he just wins games while his teammates shine.

Give me Ja Morant!

Good point - maybe he grew up - his dad hasn’t tho lol

Ja Morant feels like an afterthought in 2025. Is it because of injuries? Is it because of JJJ surpassing him as team’s best player? What is it? The play is still very much electrifying

I think the big thing here is that the Grizz are doing something new on offense, and not just new for them:

Beyond that, with JJJ being able to score like he is now while also being the defensive anchor, JJJ simply is the most valuable regular season player on the team.

Now the question is really about the playoffs. Will this new approach scale to the playoffs? Will they need Ja to bail them out with hero play in the playoffs? We'll see.

That offence looks very much like a variation of the triangle to me with some tweaks.

No reason for the NBA to market a guy who is a fragile as glass.
