Four minutes and 36 seconds before the end of the game, Murray University led by 20 points, and Morant made his first 10 rebound, completing a triple-double. Their fans began to shout, "Three pairs! Three pairs! " In today's NBA, triple doubles are not surprising, but in college basketball games, especially in NCAA national championships, triple doubles are still hard to get.
Statistics show that the last time there was a triple-double in the NCAA National Championship was back to a game in 20 12, when Draymond Green, who played for Michigan State University, won a triple-double. After a lapse of seven years, Morant once again completed this arduous task. Since the NCAA statistics, Morant is the eighth player to complete a triple-double in the NCAA championship. Except Green, Wade, O 'Neill and others have done it before.
This season, Morant's performance is getting better and better, and the dual-energy defender with a height of1.90m predicts that the draft pick will also rise. Before the start of the season, his predicted ranking has not yet entered the top five, but now, his predicted ranking has surpassed RJ Barrett of Duke and Bakamura of Gonzaga, ranking second, second only to Sean Williamson, another genius of Duke.
Morant is a sophomore. Last year, his average data was not outstanding, 12.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists. So far this season, he has averaged 24.6 points, 5.5 rebounds 10 assists and shot 50.3%. There is no doubt that he has become one of the top NCAA defenders.
Morant's NBA draft template is King's guard Fox, which has advantages in speed, bounce and wingspan, and is generally optimistic about the future.
Interestingly, Morant, a former Rockets fan, tweeted four years ago. At that time, he wrote: "My rocket needs these brothers." .
