Just like the first overall pick, the second pick in this 2019 NBA re-draft stays the same as well. The Memphis Grizzlies still choose to select Ja Morant second overall.
Morant has all the tools to be an elite NBA point guard and has even found some regular-season team success to back it up. Memphis was one of the most surprising teams in the NBA last season.
They managed to upset the Warriors in the play-in and even take a game away from the Utah Jazz in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. Morant played phenomenally well in that series.
There’s a small argument that Morant could have been taken first overall, but Williamson just has too much raw talent. That being said, Morant has arguably proven to be more of a winner thus far in his short career.
Memphis made a great pick at number two in real life, and they make the same one here. Ja Morant stays at number two in this 2019 NBA re-draft.
