@CuffsTheLegend: “Ja Morant doesn’t have a midrange game. Everything is either a floater or a wild contorted contested layup because he solely relies on his natural athleticism.. kinda like Iverson/DRose/Russ.. it’s time to really get in the lab this Summer and work on the FOOTWORK and playing off of two feet!
get in the gym with DeRozan, Kd and Ant Man”

Joe Mullinax: “Ja Morant not starting that 4th quarter is malpractice. You’re in the mix to sneak around and be in a clutch situation in a game no one expects you to win.
GO FOR IT!”
