Due to playing on a little covered Murray State team, Ja Morant has failed to receive the national attention that Zion and his Duke teammates have grown accustomed to. Nevertheless, Morant's dunks have amazed the internet for months, and the 19-year-old has slowly crept up draft boards as the season has progressed.

The guard is expected to go as high as second in the upcoming draft, and his recent 36 point performance against Belmont managed to secure Murray State a spot in this year's March Madness. Participating in the tournament will give Morant the national platform that his performances have earned, and college fans should be on the lookout for Morant's explosiveness and athleticism.

Morat's ability to attack the oppositions rim has resulted in comparisons to Russell Westbrook of the OKC Thunder, so make sure you tune in to see Morant during the early rounds, as Murray State is unlikely to go far in the tournament.
