Famous reporter: Morant is overrated, the Grizzlies should trade him and 3J to compete for the 26th No. 1 pick

June 16th News Today, the Grizzlies traded Bain to Magic, in exchange for Pope + Cole Anthony + four unprotected first-round picks + one first-round pick swap.

For this, famous reporter Kevin O 'Connor updated social media and posted his views on the future of the Grizzlies: "If I were the Grizzlies, I would consider going into a complete rebuild now. Trade Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. for the highest return, strategically give up the 2026 season and compete for the No. 1 pick. After all, the next draft talent is full."

" Grizzlies fans really overestimated Ja Morant. His three-point shooting percentage is below average and his defense is not stable. This year he hits the basket Frequency hits a career low. His health is also a problem, and his playing rate has been below 75% since 2021. Morant ranks around 40 to 50 among the NBA's best players. Not bad, but not too good."

This season, Morant played 50 games in the regular season, averaging 30.3 minutes per game, scoring 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.2 steals, and shooting percentage of three events was 45.4/30.9/82.4%.

playoffs, he played 3 games, averaging 27.2 minutes per game, scored 18.3 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and shot 41.5/25/63.6% in three events.
