Is Ja Morant a tier 3 star or tier 4 at this point?

I mean, if Zach LaVine is 4... even with all his issues, I can put Ja at that tier.

Granted... these tiers the OP laid out are completely arbitrary.

Well Zach would also be tier 5. Its crazy to put him with Harden and Siakim.

t4 has career better numbers than ja

ja SUXX this year... now he's turning into a flat out pain in the @$$

the griz have historically shown they don't need him. even melo, who i can't stand is more valuable than ja - team wise

his value is on social media and as a personality more than actual play

TRADE HIM. to a dumb team, he's a tier 5. does anyone think his personal issues will get better? personal issues never go away - you are who you are

There's tier 1 who are mvp caliber(roughly top 5-7 in the league). Tier 2 who are all nba caliber(top 15) & tier 3 who are all star caliber(top 30-35). Tier 4 is just good role player territory. For reference Ja was last an all star in 2023 and likely will not be this season either.

I like the thought process here and I would go ahead and make tier 1 a hard cut off with Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA, Wemby at the top 5 tier 1 players. No one else makes the cut for me atm.

tier 3

I don't know if he's tier three or four, but if I were a Grizz fan, he would make me shed three or four tears.

Sounds shocking, but here is a comparsion of their best individual seasons. To keep in mind, Morant was considered a future face of the league that year.

Lavine: 50.7 FG%, 41.9 3P%, 84.9 FT%, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.8 Stl, 0.5 Blk, 27.4 points
Morant: 49.3 FG%, 34.4 3P%, 76.1 FT%, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 Stl, 0.4 Blk, 27.4 points

Cade disrespected, should be in tier 2!

He doesn't belong on any star tier at this point. You look at Ja and think he's a Good player and thats it. Not a difference maker. At least not as a #1/2

JA could probably be a really good #3.

Unfortunately he's sulking imo. Put him somewhere he wants to be and he'd return to form.

Zach Lavine has had one seaaon above .500 in his 11 season career. Not including the current season.

He's like Derrick Rose, minus the peak and the injuries.

ja is the most graceful player ive ever seen. but those numbers were exposed by tim bontemps. he is not a fan and i have to admit i was blinded too

trade his exhausting @$$

Just wanted to mention I currently have him in the Bradley Beal 5th tier

He’s in tier “to trade him you have to take back negative assets.”

GoBobs · Post #36 » by **GoBobs** » Sat Nov 8, 2025 7:06 pm

Ja is a bad contract. Only a desperate team or a foolish gm would take him for free.

This post has been ruled a Flagrant 2 for excessive dad punning.

Automatic 1 game suspension.

Desperate teams are usually desperate because they have a foolish GM.

He’s just not a star at this point.

He hasn’t been this year.

20, 8, and 4, 48.9 TS%, 15.1 PER, 0 WS, 0 WS/48, -3.8 BPM, -0.1 VORP

Those aren’t even star numbers. Those are 33 year old Allen Iverson or 33 year old Derrick Rose type numbers.

His stats have gotten worse every year since 2022, and 2023 was the last year he was an all-star.
