Ja Morant is becoming a more well-rounded player for the Memphis Grizzlies, but he's always been known for his uncanny athleticism. During Sunday's showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Morant delivered a poster dunk on Moses Brown.

The play began with Morant receiving a handoff pass from Jonas Valunciunas, who set a screen for Morant to have a clearer path to the basket. Morant would advance the ball into the paint and it appeared that he was going to go up for a simple layup in traffic.

However, while Morant was able to show off his vertical in the lane, the second-year guard decided to attempt a dunk over Brown. Brown would try to clog up the pathway for Morant by standing straight up, only for him to get welcomed to the NBA in poster fashion by the Grizzlies star.

Despite the struggles that the Grizzlies have experienced thus far this season, Morant is showing why he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Through his first 26 games of the season coming into Sunday's contest, Morant is averaging 19.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. His 19.7 points and 7.8 assists are slight improvements from his numbers as a rookie.

When facing Morant, the young guard has shown that he can score or distribute the ball in a variety of ways, with his outside shot needing some work moving forward. As the Murray State product continues to evolve his shot from beyond the arc, he will continue to relentlessly attack the basket, which could lead to an endless supply of poster dunks in his career.
