Knight emphasized that greatness isn’t only about explosive plays. It’s about consistency, accountability, and making everyone better. That’s where Morant’s growth has been most noticeable. When he’s attacking under control, setting up shooters, and defending with urgency, the Grizzlies look like a team that can compete with anyone.
This season has been a grind for Memphis. Injuries, roster turnover, and uneven stretches have tested the organization’s depth and resilience. Yet Morant remains the heartbeat. His confidence fuels the locker room, and his energy lifts the crowd. As Knight pointed out, the next step is turning that talent into sustained winning habits.
