Key Highlights

In 325 career games he's averaged 22.4 points, 7.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHis strongest season by far came in the 2021-22 season where he averaged 27.4 points, 6.7 assists and 5.7 rebounds.
That same year, he won Most Improved Player honors and made the All-NBA Second Team. With that in mind, his three-point shooting isn't where teams may want it to be, especially in the modern era of basketball.
Morant is shooting 31% from deep over his career but a very low 20.8% from three in this year. As the trade deadline is just under a month away (Feb.
5), Miami has plenty of time to evaluate a possible trade for Morant.
Currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, Miami will have to decide if they deem Morant worth the assets required as they attempt to move up in the standings.
