#IMHO: Can Zion Williamson catch Ja Morant for the ROY Award?

After an incredibly hot start to Zion Williamson’s rookie campaign, Grind City Media’s Mike Wallace and Lang Whitaker discuss whether or not Ja Morant has already cemented himself as the front-runner for the Rookie of the Year Award.

JA should be the rookie of the year!! Zion will have played 35+ games where as Ja has played nearly the entire season, collected rookie of the month awards, and is mainly responsible for the the Grizz being in the playoff push!

There is no way Ja Morant shouldn't be roy. I won't even mention that other guy.

i think if he can keep playing like this and get the playoff spot, he should win it 100%

Zion is going to win ROY because he’s going to continue to score 25-30 a night, help get Pels in the playoffs and knock out grizzlies (they play twice). Watch it happen. Ja is a great player, but if you’re a human and can see, you know like I do that Zion is just something different

Teams haven't adjusted to ZION because they cant deal with him! Zion is a generational talent and the league has never seen anyone like him.  Ja is good but leading his team to wins?  When it comes down to it, can JA take it to another level where the opposing team has no answers for him?  No one has answers for Zion. Steven Adams didn't. Hassan Whiteside didn't and now Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard didn't.  come on Zion is clearly the better rookie regardless of the games played which is BS anyway.  Its about what you accomplish in those games played....

Yeah unless they take the 8th spot there zero chance Zion gets ROTY.

Isn't Roy award for best rookie player? So why is it that 38games not enough sample size to figure out if he is or isn't best rookie? Notion of rookie must play all season to figure out how good he is just stupid. Its like if Shaq rookie season or mj rookie season even if they played only 25 games they still be Roy because they were just that good. They don't need to play all 82 games to show how player is good or not.

When is your next video? :D Keep it up! Would you like to be YouTube friends? :]

Zion Williamson will win rookie of the year because his stat line
is even better than Rookie Shaq and is now being compared to Wilt Chamberlain and although Ja morant which is remarkable as well. The biggest picture of Ja morant is that he is playing like a Kyrie Irving And Russell Westbrook combo. Basically Zion is more built like Batman and Ja is more built like Robin.😭😭😭💯💪
