We didn't expect this, everyone thought Zion Williamson died a few months ago. Some analysts were even thinking that he is a bust. Some people were making fun of him, that he is fat, he is not NBA ready and has a potential to become the next Greg Oden. But look were he is now... averaging more than 21 points and 7 rebounds per game. While on the other side Ja Morant is averaging more than 17 points per game and 7 Assists per game but the media looks like giving their votes to Zion because of the impact that he made right away after coming back from a serious knee injury.
The Pelicans were on a roll right now, they were still 5 games behind by the Memphis Grizzlies but it's still a long way to go because they still have 30 plus more games left. Zion is playing like a bully, bullying grown men and making them look like kids. With his size and athleticism Zion can't be stopped once he enter the paint. His field goal percentage is more than 50 percent, his passing skills were also good. According to his teammates, Zion is a good teammate and can spark the whole team whenever he needs to. Memphis Grizzlies were hot too and competing against the best teams in the west. Ja Morant almost made it to the All star team but the commissioner chooses Devin Booker instead.
According to Stephen Smith of ESPN if the Pelicans can overtake the Memphis Grizzlies for the 8th spot in the west then Zion Williamson will be the Rookie of the year but if not then it will be landslide victory for Ja Morant. A lot of players and coaches were comparing Ja Morant to Russell Westbrook in terms of aggression and passion for the game, according to Ja, Westbrook was his idol and he loves competing against him.
