The Pacers take Dejounte Dashaun Murray


He becomes the starting pg.

Love that. I wasn't able to fit him with already having a non-shooter in Simmons but love his game.

I love Murray! Have always wanted him as a Celtic IRL, so I like the pairing with Tatum. Besides his shooting flaws he really does everything. Nice selection.

I am excited to see what he does this year. Breakout year candidate.

Like Horford as a bench big man. Very reliable on defence, can stretch the floor, good passer on the high-post and perimeter. Another big man who can shoot for your team.

I had Horford pegged as a starter because of how well rounded a center he is.

Duncan Robinson!!!

Interesting picks thus far.  I don't have my own draft board, but I'm surprised that some of the guys coming off of the board are roughly in the top 60 - 75 of NBA players.

Duncan Robinson!!!

Ideal partner for James Harden. Just keep on moving and you'll get an open three Dunc!

Fred VanVleet!

Bummer. I was hoping he'd last til my next pick.

VanVleet is one of those guys I learned more appreciation of while researching players for this draft. I always thought he was a chucker and dismissed him as such but I never realized how good his defense was. One of the league leaders in deflections and stuff like that. Disruptive as a team defender. Strong man defender. Built like a rock so he switches well onto bigger players. And his handles, passing and difficulty rating on many of those off the dribble 3s add good value despite less than ideal overall scoring efficiency.

Overall, much more well rounded as a player than I had recognized prior to the draft. And a real winner. I love his attitude out there.

Bogdan Bogdanovic!

The Minnesota Hawks.

That was the guy I was thinking should have gone in front of Bridges for tazz's team.

I feel like Lowry has been huge for him in teaching him how to use his stout frame on defence. Just gets his body in the way. His scoring inside the arc is poor, no way around that, but his passing, shooting and defence are all good.
