One of the first upsets from this year’s March Madness tournament didn’t seem like an upset at all — No. 12 Murray State trounced No. 5 Marquette with relative ease, and they were led by a monster triple-double from fast-rising NBA prospect Ja Morant.
Morant seems to have entrenched his status as a consensus top-three draft prospect, with some debate about whether he’s passed R.J. Barrett as well. If he can continue to play like this, of course, then the hype machine is only going to continue rolling on. Morant’s triple-double was the first of the tournament since Draymond Green last managed the feat in 2012 with Michigan State.
Morant’s incredible performance had NBAers and the rest of the basketball world buzzing with excitement. Where is this guy on your draft boards?
