With the whole world fixated on another remarkable performance put out by top NBA prospect Zion Williamson on Saturday night, Murray State's Ja Morant's record-breaking evening was a bit overlooked. Morant, who is considered to be a top-5 NBA Draft prospect this June, dropped a career-high 40 points on Saturday against the SIU Edwardsville Cougars en route to setting a number of NCAA Division I records.

Aside from his scoring outburst, Morant was a pristine 21-of-21 from the charity stripe on Saturday as he led his team to a 82-71 victory. He absolutely stuffed the stat sheet as well, and as the tweet above states, it was definitely a performance for the books.

Morant has been outstanding all season long in his sophomore year for Murray State. The 6-foot-3 guard is currently averaging 24.3 points (on 54.4 percent shooting), 1.6 three-pointers, 5.9 rebounds, 10.6 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 35.9 minutes of action. However, he is also averaging a James Harden-like 5.0 turnovers per contest. He will definitely need to take better care of the rock, especially at the NBA level.

In Bleacher Report‘s most recent mock draft, Morant is projected to be the third overall pick behind Duke duo Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett, respectively. Bleacher Report predicts that it will be the New York Knicks who will end up picking Morant, as the team looks to finally solve their dilemma at the one spot.
