Who has the higher ceiling, Jah Morant vs De'Aaron Fox?

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Grizz fan, but have yall watched Fox play brehs? Bro is nice, and is better than Ja right now

Ja if he can stay healthy, but I don’t think neither of them can be your #1 option on a championship team. Which is why both teams need JJJ and Bagley to become the players that they need them to be.

name a team who has won with a PG being the #1 option

Warriors
Pistons
I dont really count Magic as one

thats literally it probably. and even then...Curry wasnt used as a PG like that

i think Ja has the higher ceiling and Fox has the higher floor.

two of the most exciting young players in the league tho

For the Detroit team that beat the Lakers, do we consider Billups as the #1 option on that team?

Temetrius Jamel

i think Rip was the leading scorer. like 19.9 ppg a game if i remember correctly.
but every starter was in double digits except Wallace...much like the 89 pistons.

It’s why I have always thought that the Blazers should have traded CJ and see what they could have gotten for him. Dame and CJ duo just can’t win a championship together.

I would say Billups was their best player though either him or Ben

 

[VegetasHairline]

Ja(with JJJ) can potentially lead the Grizzlies to a Homecourt Advantage seeding... Fox might be able to get the Kings to an 8 seed


I thought Fox would make a leap this year, as he’s shares similar qualities to John Wall. But his own injuries as long as getting Joerger and Bagley being mad injury prone.. has derailed the process.

After he came back from injury, Fox was putting up numbers and helping the Kings win games.

Why can't Fox be better than Ja in 2-3 years?

Its possible he is

Ben should be in the HOF. I don’t know why he isn’t yet as his numbers and accolades are comparable to Dikembe.

arguable...team was like voltron
regardless, hamilton was the leading scorer every year
my only point is that what homie said about Fox/Morant not being #1 options/best players on a championship team isnt an indictment to them.
i think i proved that much

 

[Ohene]

neither player will win unless they leave their franchises. its that simple.
neither franchise will attract a star
none has management capable of pulling a trade for a star
and neither team is bad enough to tank and get a player that is that great in the draft
nor do i believe any team has the know how to develop talent internally like Toronto or San Antonio do

Memphis' ceiling as constructed is a 3-4 seed and WCF exit. Once the Clippers/Warriors/Lakers fall off, NOP will have their number
Sactown's ceiling as constructed is a 7 seed and first round exit until they decide to unleash [a healthy] Marvin Bagley . They also need to trade Hield who I am a fan of but simply wont fit in a backcourt with Fox.
