and spew off other nonsense, but so can I.
Ja Morant is in the category of Kyle Lowry, D. Murray , Chris Paul, and James Harden, and all 4 PGs are averaging 8 or more assists a game and get others involved. You also brought up Jokic, who isn’t even a pg, who averages more assists than Ja Morant as a big, because he looks to get his teammates involved. And he is playing with a less talented cast, because Porter and Murray are both out, and Barton has also missed time.
Then there is Garland, Ball, D. Russell, and Doncic who all avg more assists than Ja Morant while playing the same amount of minutes.
Chris Paul: 10.0 James Harden: 10.0 Murray: 8.9 Doncic: 8.7 Westbrook: 8.0 Lowry: 8.3 Garland: 7.8 Ball: 7.6
He is the worst of his peers. Facts. 6.8 assists a game is subpar for a PG of his caliber, tier, and usage rate, and with the talent that he plays with in Jackson, Bane, Brooks, and Williams, etc, his numbers should be way better than what they are. He looks for his shot more than he looks to facilitate. If you were to put any of the aforementioned PGs on the Griz, they would definitely amass way more than 6.8 dimes a game.
Also, look at total assists. Ja and Luka have played the same amount of games(32), and both were out due to injuries. Luka has amassed 243 assist, Ja 212.
He needs to tremendously improve his facilitating skills, and look to get his teammates involved more. Hopefully, that will come as he matures.
