However, while I was there, I also noted a freshman guard named Tevin Brown who seemed to have enough size, shooting and athleticism to possibly crack the league. Four years later, Brown is the best player on a Murray State team that ran the table in the Ohio Valley Conference and will likely enter the tournament as a No. 8 or 9 seed. Brown is shooting 38.9 percent from 3 this season on mad volume (13.3 flings per 100 possessions), has shown enough as a passer to be a serviceable secondary playmaker and has athleticism indicators that show he can hang if he moves up a level. He’ll be 24 years old by the time his first NBA season starts, which is a draft-stock killer, but he’ll be in the mix as a second-rounder or two-way guy.
Ja Morant: Blessed & Thankful 🙏🏽 My Fans, I Appreciate You. 🖤 To Memphis, Murray State, Da Gang, Organization, Couldn't Do It Without Y'all. 🐻🐎 To MBNO, ™️ . We Got More Work To Do. Love Yall 🤞🏽
The Memphis Grizzlies today announced the team exercised 2022-23 rookie scale contract options on guard Ja Morant, forward Brandon Clarke and guard Desmond Bane. Morant, the 2019-20 NBA Rookie of the Year, has appeared in 130 games (all as a starter) and has averaged 18.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 31.7 minutes since he was drafted second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Murray State.
Ja Morant has started to tell his own story. Out now on Crackle, Morant is the subject of a six-part documentary titled Promiseland that dives into his rise from unknown at Murray State to No. 2 Draft pick to one of the NBA’s biggest young stars. “I just want to show my journey, go deeper into it, and show people things they don’t know about me,” Morant told Dime. “It comes from people that might want to tell someone else’s story and just add things in or just have some stuff that’s not true, so I thought if I’m telling my story and it’s coming from me, more people are going to believe it.”
