Murphy will be a good pickup for them cause after watching him at UVA this past season I can see him developing into a high level role player. One who is capable of hitting the 3 and defending multiple spots which might be the ideal pairing with Zion.

Graham, Murphy, and Ingram is a serious catch and shoot threat.

Last year catch and shoot.

Ingram - 42%
Graham - 42%
Murphy - 41%

This is some serious shooting.

The tall Boi lineup ain't too bad either

Zion
Murphy
Ingram
Jax
Jonas

Pretty excited for Murphy.

I think my issue with Ball is that he is hard to watch as the point in the half court. He didn't really run the offense with much creativity and it doesn't help when he's very on and off as shooter that can't drive. He's an amazing outlet and pocket passer, but not someone you can depend in the clutch offensively and defensively. I think he has maybe 3 or 4 clutch plays in his whole time here while we blown like 20+ leads. Which is why we went to Point Zion in the 4th.

TM3 had Kuminga in jail tonight :wow:
I don't see how TM3 doesn't put NAW on the bench by the end of the year or next year . NAW better gets some Point Guard skills cooking up, because TM3 got high level potential as a SG.

TM3 would be wasted being used as just a Corner 3 and D roleplayer guy. He got a wild skillset and at his best when he's active.

This is definitely a playoff team, but you still push to get rid of Ingram for Dame. With Naji there Hart is "more" expendable, Tray Murphy will be a steal dude is 12-15ppg easy if he out there with Zion.

This team is growing on me :blessed:
I think we sitting on Hart for that Buddy trade. Which means our starting and bench offense will be a nice. Defense might be struggle status
