Morant has skyrocketed up draft boards and is considered a potential top-5 pick. The high-flying guard is averaging 24.1 points, 10.4 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals on 50.4 percent shooting on the season.
With multiple point-guard needy teams expected to be in the lottery, Morant won’t have to wait long to hear his name called on draft night.
