More on Morant and the G board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #37 overall, #16 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 79 (roughly round 8 in a 10-team league). We rank him #37, so he is a value at that price.
We project 35.7 points per game across an expected 39 games — approximately 1392 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 26.6 and 48.1 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #37 in projected scoring.
Based on 2025-26 production, Ja Morant finished #99 in 9-cat and #48 in 8-cat leagues by per-game z-score value, versus #37 in points formats. High turnovers cost him in 9-cat — he climbs to #48 when turnovers are excluded.
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 70% of games, with a floor of 21.7 and a ceiling of 50.4 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 25% of games and busted (under half his average) in 5%.
