Grizzlies’ newcomer Marcus Smart will team up with young star Ja Morant in Memphis. The former Celtics guard says he will push Morant to his limit, just like he did with his Boston teammates.
“Ja is a very special player, very special player. He’s very important to this team,” Smart said during his introductory press conference. “And for us to do anything great, we’re going to need Ja and we’re going to need Ja to be the best he can be.
“So for me as a competitor, I love to push guys to the limit, especially a guy who’s great. I’ve done it over in Boston with those guys. It’s my brother, so I want to be able to have that same relationship with Ja because, like I said, he’s a great player and we’re going to need him to do what we want to do.”
