"The Heat will surely give Morant a look. Even with Norman Powell proving he was this summer's biggest steal, Kel'el Ware reminding folks of his sky-high potential, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. throwing his hat into the Sixth Man of the Year race, Miami remains without the kind of game-changing star who could help this club gain traction in the championship race."
"He's playing a lot for the Grizzlies so far, having only missed one contest due to a team-imposed suspension. He just isn't playing at anywhere near a star level. His 18.9 points are the fewest since his rookie year, and they're even less impressive than that sounds. He's taking a whopping 17.5 shots just to hit that mark. His shooting rates, as you might imagine then, are wholly atrocious: 35.2 percent overall, 16.7 percent from three."
Miami lacks a true game-changing star despite several valuable role players and would likely evaluate Ja Morant as a potential addition. Morant has fallen out of the elite tier and presents availability concerns, having made 59 appearances over the past two seasons and failing to reach 70 games. Current performance shows decline: 18.9 points on 17.5 shots per game, 35.2 percent shooting overall, 16.7 percent from three, 8.1 assists and a career-high 4.0 turnovers. The combination of inefficient scoring, high turnovers, and injury risk reduces Morant's ability to be a championship-altering acquisition.
