What makes them special is that they play the point guard spot. To be a guard in the NBA, one needs to have the IQ and a mastery of the fundamentals such as passing and playmaking. Morant has all those abilities, but he's also faster, jumps a bit higher, and has immense body control than most of his matchups.

The scary thing is that he's only in his second year in the league with the Grizzlies. Imagine how good he will be once he learns more about the game and once he gets stronger.
