He chose Murray State University, a mid-major program in Calloway County, Kentucky, that was not a destination school for the most heavily recruited players coming out of high school. What happened at Murray State made national news: in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, Morant led the Racers to a first-round upset of Marquette with 36 points and 16 assists, a line that no one who watched it forgot, and the basketball world that had not yet fully noticed him began paying very close attention. The Memphis Grizzlies selected him 2nd overall in the 2019 NBA Draft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏀 His 2019-20 rookie season produced numbers – 17.8 points, 7.3 assists per game – that were not gradual development figures but the immediate production of a player who had arrived at the professional level completely prepared to play. He won the 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year award and established himself as the centerpiece around which the Grizzlies' rebuild would occur. The Panini Donruss “Rated Rookie” designation has been one of the most recognizable markers in the basketball card hobby since the 1980s – the horizontal card design with the star logo and the “Rated Rookie” banner signaling a player's official first-year inclusion. Card #202 in the 2019-20 Donruss set is Morant's Rated Rookie. PSA 10 Gem Mint certification confirms this copy as perfect. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏀 Ja Morant.
