The top player in the class according to most scouts, Morant is used to being THE guy on the court and carrying a heavy load. Possesses high level passing ability, even for a point guard (as evidenced by his NCAA leading 9.3 apg). Shows great imagination to make creative passes, and seems to lead teammates into easy scores with his anticipation and vision. Plays with an edge and shows excellent competitiveness and moxie. Has a fearless style and is willing to put his body on the line and initiate contact in order to make plays. A high level athlete for a point guard with elite speed and quickness, as well as explosive leaping ability. His ball handling might be his most advanced skill right now as he goes behind his back and crosses over like the ball is on a string. His ability to change directions and set up drives gives defenders fits. While still an area of concern, the form on his shot actually shows solid promise. Once his jumpshot comes around, his offensive repertoire will be complete. He is an excellent finisher in the lane with a variety of floaters and a penchant for attempting to posterize an opponent at least twice a game. A tremendous rebounder from the PG position. Body is very thin and will need to add some strength and muscle over the next few years in order to better finish drives and absorb contact, as well as not get bullied by the more physical guards at the next level. This will improve his defense as well, which is suspect... but that could be because of his offensive load taking priority over defense.
