Watch: Ja Morant's Best Dunks of the Year Before March Madness

Murray State guard Ja Morant trails only Zion Williamson in highlight-reel dunks this year. Morant wowed Ohio Valley fans with thunderous hammers on a nightly basis and now he will get to show off his dunking prowess to a national audience on Thursday, when the Racers face Marquette in the NCAA tournament.

Morant should continue to endear himself to basketball fans over the next decade. He is a projected top-five pick in June's NBA draft, drawing comparrisons to De'Aaron Fox and Russell Westbrook. But before Morant hits the national stage, let's take a look at some of his top dunks from 2018-19.

This Ja Morant dunk is mesmerizing 🔥
