He is good but not a superstar in the making

Great defender, just good on offense. Maybe he has another level but I dont see him being some great scorer
Doing lots of things well but not being flashy or putting up crazy high scoring numbers is exactly why someone like Tony Parker has 4 rings and guys like Russell Westbrook have zero.

I hope Dejounte stays on the path.

Tim Duncan is why Parker has 4 rings and Westbrook has none
Tim Duncan is the same example.
A guy who didn't put up the sports talk show performances or fancy acrobatic dunks or layups.

But who did many things well. And won. A lot.
It is the same shyt.

His highlight of the season was getting dropped by Doncic.

Second best "young guard" (24 or younger) in the league behind Ja...

With LMA gone and Derozan probably gone in the off season he is going to take another offensive leap next year...

The same way people talk about how the spurs went from D Rob to Duncan, they will talk about how they went from Parker to Murray

Maybe 3rd behind booker...although phoenix didn't do anything until chris got there so doesn't seem like booker himself was impacting winning that much
Is this a serious post?

Dejounte Murray is here brehs. He's been literally destroying every team so far this year. It took a couple seasons, Pop not giving him burn, an ACL tear, but he has arrived. :wow:

@Remote been beating the drums about this kid for 5 seasons now, I knew you wasn't bullshytting highkey.
The potential is there. You just want to see it every night.

He still isn't confident enough in his jumper and his catch and shoot could be better.
But athletically he is as gifted as anyone in the league.

Spurs probably won't have the record for him to make it but he should be an All-Star this year
His numbers are better than Dlo's when he made All Star for my Nets, and they only one 40 games that year, but the West is a different beast.

He'll never be a marksman but as long as hes doing everything else that hes doing now, he'll be great. And he just turned 25, Spurs need to build around him more than ever now.
