1. Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies

Stats: 17.6 points, 7 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1 steal

Last Rank: 1

Morant finished just two points shy of setting the highest-scoring triple-double in Grizzlies franchise history as he became the first rookie this season to accomplish the feat. Morant scored 17 of his 27 points in the second half of that game to help lead the Grizzlies back from a 12-point deficit in the third quarter. He has come up clutch several times this season for Memphis and is a huge reason why they are currently in the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
