Ja Morant was selected 2nd overall in the 2019 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies and as such, Ja Morant rookie cards have been in high demand since the start.
In his rookie season, he quickly established himself as one of the best young players in the league, averaging 17.8 points, 7.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game.
The Memphis Grizzlies point guard has gotten off to a good start with number 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson starting the 2019 season on the sidelines.
Plus it won’t cost as much as Zion cards (not right now at least).
For those looking to invest in Morant rookie / college cards, here’s our choice for his 3 best (and links provided to where you can buy / bid on eBay). And here are other Ja Morant basketball cards worth taking a look in this post.
1. 2019-20 Panini Prizm Ja Morant Rookie Card #249
The Panini Prizm rookie card is usually the go-to for a middle of the road card for collectors and investors alike.
There’s plenty of them with plenty of parallels and the more popular parallels (ie. silver) are fairly liquid.
Plus the Morant pose on this card is pretty cool.
