The Memphis Grizzlies have had some impressive performances early in the season. Ja Morant has been on a tear of late, and he's arguably the biggest reason behind the Grizzlies' early-season success.
At this point, there have been more than a few claims about Morant needing to get more national TV coverage this season. For his part, the 22-year-old completely agrees with this notion — with one small exception.
Morant recently responded to a tweet saying that he's must-see TV. According to the Grizzlies stud, it's not all about him in Memphis right now:
*WE are must see TV. https://t.co/wL0OZZ5ZtV

In eight games played this season, Morant has been putting up career-best numbers across the board. The Grizzlies star is currently averaging 27.0 points on 52.2 percent shooting, 5.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.9 steals. Morant is also sinking 1.9 triples per contest on an efficient 36.6-percent clip.
Morant's flashy style of play has definitely caught the attention of NBA fans everywhere. However, he's adamant that his teammates have been equally important in terms of propelling the Grizzlies to becoming a legitimate threat in the West.
It's still way too early in the season and there's still so much basketball ahead of us. Nevertheless, Morant and the Grizzlies have made it abundantly clear that they're going to be a problem this year.
