其中一段說到Ja Morant是怎麼被發掘的。
How did Morant end up at Murray State?
Morant briefly played AAU ball as of teammate of Williamson’s on the SC Horne
ts before either player was a known commodity. Morant was considered a two-sta
r prospect when he finished his high school career and did not receive a natio
nal ranking from major scouting services like Rivals, 247 Sports, or ESPN.
Morant曾短暫的在AAU聯賽出賽過,與當時還未成為社群名人的Zion Williamson同屬於SC
Hornets。Morant在高中畢業之後被視為是2星高中生,並沒有被各大知名網站如 Rivals
、247 Sports與ESPN等納入排名。
Murray State assistant coach James Kane (now with Iowa State) discovered Moran
t at a camp put on by Chandler Parsons’ AAU program. As legend has it, Morant
was so far off the radar as a late addition to the camp that his name wasn’t
even in the event’s program.
當時Murray州大的助教James Kane(現屬於 Iowa州大)發掘Morant在Chandler Parsons
為AAU聯賽舉辦的訓練營之中。正如其他傳說的起點,Morant在這個訓練營中甚至沒有被
提到有這名球員出場。
Morant would eventually score his only power conference scholarship offer from
South Carolina, but he still chose the Racers.
雖然他最終還是有收穫South Carolina的獎學金,但他還是選擇了the Racers(Murray州
大的球隊名)。
