Ja Morant NBA fantasy basketball projections

Ja Morant's incredible athleticism makes him one of the best offensive players in the NBA. Fans of the Memphis Grizzlies will certainly be eager for his return to the court.

Last season was rough for Morant as there was a lot of controversy surrounding him, but he was still able to provide fantastic numbers for his team. He averaged 26.2 points and 8.1 assists per game. He also added almost six rebounds and 1.1 steals in 61 games played.

For fantasy basketball players, this means he provided solid numbers in four categories. He did average 3.4 turnovers per game, so players in leagues that track this stat should be careful not to add other players with a high turnover rate.

For the upcoming season, Ja Morant is once again expected to produce solid numbers. According to Fantasy Pros, he is projected to improve his scoring to 27.4 points per game. His assists are expected to drop to 6.7, but this is still a solid number.

Players who want to draft Morant should be mindful that he will not be available at the beginning of the season. He can play 57 games at most, barring any injuries or other setbacks.

When he is available, he is one of the most reliable players to have on a team.
