For him to do that he gotta stop being an a$$hole and just accept rn that he's just average. nikka be getting way too fukking pumped off his high lights, that shyt don't intimidate fukking nobody like it did in hs. I saw him play ucf and nikkas looked completely indifferent to him at times. It's just his karma rn, he gotta take the humbling but the fact he may wanna leave just shows he don't truly give a fukk

Ja Morant is not a top 5 player in the NBA wtf are you talking about?
not to derail this thread but to this point, this season, Ja is without a doubt top 5 in MVP voting

I agree, I think OP meant what I was saying…top 5 this year so far, but it came across as him saying top 5 overall.
usually highly-ranked players with " average / poor" athletic tools (relative to NBA players) make that up with fundaments craftiness, poise, BBall iq and overall court awareness.
emoni has none of those.
the wingspan doesnt bother me... guys like Jimmy, Steph, etc etc have average wingspans and did fine
so i ask why was the hype so high?

It is likely big fish un a small pond syndrome

Cause he was a lengthy KD type cooking in high school. He’s been getting hype since like the 8th grade, it’s easier than ever now to “cook the books” via YouTube and flashy editing. It was like 2 years ago when I noticed maybe he ain’t so good. That being said, he’ll still probably be close to 6’9, so something can still be salvaged. Take a year, get better and mature and maybe it’ll work out.
Ayo did They get Emoni up out the paint? Memphis is playing Houston today and I don’t see Emoni in the lineup… 
Memphis actually playing fluid team ball

He's still on the team.
And Emoni is far from the problem with the Memphis Tigers.
