An article in “Fansided” asserts Ja Morant isn't on Luka Doncic's level. In my opinion (influenced by bias certainly), Morant is a superstar like Doncic.

Although an obscure source, it may represent common fan and media perception.

I think they know if Ja stays healthy he'll be the face of the NBA.

the Mavs Fansite says their guy is better than Ja? I'm shocked!

Both are terrific young players. They make a valid point about the potential for injuries.

Who knows, Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook are high flyers who have both stuck around a long time. Ja's game will evolve, and it is more than hops, he has gotten better in almost every area each season.

Would anyone trade Ja for Luka or Luka for Ja? Probably not, they are both franchise players. Zion appears to be the one most susceptible to injuries. Anthony Edwards appears to be cut from the same mould and the next youngster ready to explode.

The game evolves incredibly fast. When Rose and Westbrook came into the league the 3 was still not a tremendously valued shot for PGs and they were not really expected to shoot it at a high %. With Morant, it is very different. He has grownup watching the three ball being considered tremendously valued and where all guards are expected to be at least respectable outside shooters. It seems natural his game will evolve into incorporating shooting more and take some pressure off his body constantly flying to the rim.

In all honesty though, I think there are very few GMs, if any, who would not trade Ja for Luka if given the chance...
