Ja Morant #12 of the Murray State Racers is seen during the game against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels at CFSB Center on Feb. 16, 2019 in Murray, Ky.

This past season, Morant torched the competition on the offensive side of the ball, averaging 24 points and 10 assists a game and leading Murray State to the second round of this year's NCAA Tournament. Because of his stellar play and off-the-wall highlights, Morant ushered in his nickname "Point God," which percolated quickly among fans, media, and league scouts.

Morant's confidence now has him penciled in as the No. 2 pick on many draft boards and has earned him endorsement deals with Nike and JBL.

Whether in the car, where he gets yelled at "for having the music too loud" or at home, rest assured, Morant is bumping his favorite artist Lil Baby. "I started listening to him when 'Perfect Timing' came out, and as he kept dropping stuff, I've been listening to him more," Morant says of his affinity for Baby. "Now that's who I listen to a lot.
