According to ESPN’s Kirk Goldsberry, the only players this century to average more paint production per game are Shaquille O’Neal, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson. Morant is also currently the youngest player in the top-10 scorers in the NBA, averaging 25 points and seven assists per game, and has improved every stat line from last season. “We already knew he could do the things he’s doing because we saw him do it at the college level where he averaged 25 points per game,” Draper said. “But to see him do it at this level three seasons in, I think he’s surprising a lot of people.”
