Merry Christmas Eve! We HAVE to talk about Ja Morant and his 44 point, 9 assist performance against the Spurs. Throughout the entire preseason Morant has looked much better than he did in his rookie of the year debut for the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant is a next-generation superstar, this decade's version of the 2010s Derrick Rose & John Wall. Super excited to see what he becomes!

Michael Porter Jr. is one of the league's best young players, but he needs to make a leap in order to jump into the "star" conversation. He shines bright on offense, but has some terrible defensive performances. Still, there's a chance he can put it all together, making this season our prediction for his breakout year.

The Knicks, aka Kentucky North, might have found their point guard of the future in Immanuel Quickley. 22 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals in a blowout win against the Cavs, Is he for real?

Christian Wood was BALLIN' in his first game for the Houston Rockets, finishing with 27 points and 10 rebounds. He looks just as good if not better than he did in his last 15 games in Detroit. If Wood is THIS good, and they also have 70% of classic John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, is that enough to convince James Harden to stay?

Isaac Okoro has been HOOPIN' in his first three games. Honestly, he's looked like the best rookie so far (maybe him and Avdija are tied). The Cleveland Cavaliers might have finally hit on a draft pick after Darius Garland and Collin Sexton haven't broken out yet. In his freshman season at Auburn, Okoro wasn't really hitting threes. Now he's shooting 62% from three?

Malachi Flynn has had two awesome games for the Raptors now, outperforming his 29th overall draft slot and showing promise on a good team. Can he crack the rotation? He should, because right now he looks interchangeable with another Raptors star: Fred VanVleet.

Killian Hayes, while struggling in the box score, has shown enough feel and ability to be able to say he will be a future star in the league. His ability to use his size to disrupt opposing guards on defense, finish over them on offense, along with a growing array of playmaking and shooting skills make him a player to watch out for years to come.

Paul George is going to make up to $226 million over the next five years. What earned him that deal? Was it him lying to the media about how Doc Rivers used him? What about his collapse in the playoffs, bricking shots off the side of the backboard? This contract should keep him locked in to LA, or he can force his way out, like he did in Indiana and Oklahoma City.
