i dont like to put caps on prospects that have athleticism and iq. ja is that.

even on defense he seems like the kind of guy who’ll figure something out once he works on body.

Neither could a prime Rondo or Westbrook.

But I'll take his passing ability and ability to get into the Paint with guys like Durant & Kyrie around him. :D

Add DeAaron Fox to that list too. It's a non-issue.

The only thing IMO separating them is shooting IMO. :dontknow:

Ja quoted the absurd notion that his competition was weak MULTIPLE times IMO. :nod:

The little we saw of Garland, he's nowhere near the playmaker Ja is.

I know I’ve seen a few posters compare Ja to Denis Schonder but Ja’s vision is way better than Schonder’s.

I really like Garland but his passingis nowhere near Ja. He's way more Collin Sexton-esqe with an incredibly tight handle. Ja is very talented as a passer. They're different types but both great prospects.

Exactly. Morant has PG skills DS couldn't dream of. Not just vision, but knowing when to attack and when to distribute.

Honestly, they need to sit him now. I think he's played every minute.
