Truth be told, when it comes to the 19th NBA Draft, Morant is undoubtedly the one in that class, and his performance not only surpassed the top Zion, but also stood out among the five best performers. So, why do I feel this way?Let me analyze the quality and potential of these five players.
Morant, who has proven his quality this season, is one of the fastest players in the league in terms of scoring, playmaking and defense, and is one of the fastest players in the league.
Zion, although Zion's physical talent is impeccable, his skills and game intelligence have been criticized by the outside world. Many people think that his talent is completely wasted, and he will only take the ball and smash it inside. But there's no denying that Zion's physical condition and athleticism do earn him a lot of opportunities.
Tanhua Barrett, his scoring ability and rebounding ability are very good, and his physical fitness is also very good. But when the team needed a real leader, Barrett still seemed to be a little off the mark, as his offensive options and handling in key moments left much to be desired.
Pick Garland, a guard with a lot of potential, he has a very explosive offense, but due to some physical limitations, he doesn't play particularly well on the defensive end, but that doesn't mean he can't be an All-Star, it just takes time.
Herro, who is the thirteenth pick, scoring ability is his biggest characteristic, but on the whole, his defensive and organizational skills are not particularly good, so he is not up to the All-Star level.
Overall, Zion's physical talent is amazing, but he doesn't have the game intelligence and skills, while Morant is completely different, and his ceiling is the highest in this draft. The consistency in the game has shown his potential to become a future superstar, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Morant belongs to the break-up level.
