Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is widely expected to win the 2020 Rookie of the Year Award.

The explosive guard out of Murray State is already one of the most exciting players to watch in the NBA and Morant reminded everyone on Tuesday with some spectacular passes and dunks down in Orlando, Florida.

Before the 2019-20 season was suspended in March due to COVID-19, Morant was averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game for the Grizzlies in 59 starts. He was also shooting 49.1 percent from the field, 36.7 percent from beyond the arc and 77.0 percent from the free-throw line.

Once the seeding games begin on Thursday, the Grizzlies will start off in the eighth spot in the Western Conference standings. For the team to hold off the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans, Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. have to play like stars in the seeding games.
