#BBB Bringing Showtime Back To LA With Lonzo's Magic Tricks!
Now I have a question for you Spurs fans and people that have watched his game this season, if he waited one more year to leave do you think Dejounte Murray would be a Top 10 pick in this draft? And outside of Fultz and Lonzo are any of the PGs better long term prospects than him this year?
I think he showed the most potential of all the rookie PGs this year and will be the best PG to emerge from the 2016 draft. He looks like a better player than Kris Dunn at the moment, Jamal Murray looks to be more 2 than 1,Tyler Ulis while a good player has clear physical limitations, and Malcom Brogden will be 25 this year (while Murray is only 20).
I can look at his game this year, the physical growth in his body, while also taking in Pop's teaching, Parker/Ginobili/Leonard mentorship and the fact that he played for 60 win team as a rookie and see that he will develop good habits as a winning PG. I think being drafted to the Spurs was the best thing to happen to him to get rid of his bad habits that we saw at Washington (below average outside shooting, turnovers, over dribbling, shooting early in the shot clock, hero ball mentality at times). Seeing the strides the spurs seems to make with all of their players in the shooting department, and Murray's form and quick release I think he will be a good shooter. I can easily see him being an All Star in the league.
Looking at De'Aaron Fox and Murray's measurables coming into the draft, Murray is 2 inches taller (6'5" to 6'3") the same weight as Fox coming in, and has a 3 inch longer wingspan (6'9½" to 6'6½").
Watching some tape this morning of him this season and his season at Washington, and De'Aaron Fox this season at Kentucky and I don't see much separation in their games, except that Murray seems to play longer and more fluid while Fox seems to be more vertically explosive, a tad bit stronger and a better defender. But their speed and quickness looks about the same, first step is about the same, and Murray seems much more confident in his shot and overall offensive game. I think Murray will be one of the best rebounding guards in the league, while Fox will be a big assist guy eventually. That said Murray will be a better shooter and playmaker (and overall scorer) in the League because of his aggressiveness driving to the basket, and I also think the Spurs system will lend to his development being more well rounded than Fox's, especially if Fox goes to an organization with a poor teaching culture (the Kings for example). Murray impressed me whenever he got minutes this year, especially in the postseason. Even when he had bad shooting games he still found ways to contribute.
Look at Their scouting tapes and tell me if I'm tripping to think Murray would be one of the top 3 PGs in this draft. What do you guys think?
