The Grizzlies’ physics-defying franchise player seems like a daredevil heir to Allen Iverson.
It wasn’t long ago that the Grizzlies were one of the lousiest teams in the NBA. In 2018–19, the year they drafted Morant, Memphis was tied for the seventh-worst record in the league , and the previous season they’d been even worse, finishing an abysmal 22–60. But they’ve proven to be a remarkably well-run organization, with a talented young coach in Taylor Jenkins and a front office that’s drafted well and shown itself to be exceptionally adept at identifying undervalued players.
He accepted a scholarship to Murray State—a respected mid-major program but far from a blueblood program like Kentucky or Duke—where, by his sophomore season, he’d become one of the biggest stars in the country. Like the aforementioned Lillard, another under-recruited guard who played his college ball at unheralded Weber State, Morant is a superstar who plays with all the edge of a guy on the verge of being cut.
