Herrington: What should expectations be for Ja Morant’s second season?
Ja Morant earned the Rookie of the Year award. Where, and how far, will he go from here? (Submitted by the Grizzlies)
Chris Herrington
Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
Here are some comparisons to how other top point guards did in Year 2, and what Morant’s trajectory might look like.
