Ja Morant makes list of NBA's most overrated players

Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey ranked Morant as the No. 8 most overrated player in the NBA this season, arguing that Morant's perceived star power isn't backed up by on-court production or availability.

"Another one who's lost plenty of support already, Ja Morant's 2025-26 was worse than you realize," Bailey wrote.

"He's still seen by many as a star,' despite a ridiculous lack of availability (79 games over the last three years), hilariously bad scoring efficiency and a near-non-existent jumper.
