I definitely believe people are overreacting but on the flip side I feel like if he’s (Ja Morant) reacting to losses/missed free throws in crucial moments like he is right now it could set the trend for honing his craft THAT much more serious. Gotta create good habits early on so they can take you hella far as the season progresses!!!! Shoutout to Memphis for the one time, y’all got a good one in Ja!
