How can anyone not want this kid?

Personally I think the concerns about athleticism and defense are overblown.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Not sure I can agree he is the better prospect than Ingram. I'd pick him over Buddy in a heartbeat though.

This team needs offense and Scoring.

I'd say the team needs shooting and scoring from the non-guard positions, but not someone who gets all his offense in the paint.



 Cannon, not sure what your typing about here. Murray attempted 7.7 three's per game and shot a high%.

 He's dominated the workouts by draining everything 5 feet behind the stripe.

 He has it all offensively. He posts up smaller guards, you have to close out on him with his crazy shooting ability, he has fantastic handles and can create for himself and others, he has floaters, mid range game.

 He's the kid you went to school with that's the best at everything. His hand eye coordination is elite, for the people that question his athleticism he jumps nearly 40". He can hammer home dunks when needed.

 Steph Curry minus the passing, he can pass just not like Steph.

I'm saying the biggest need is a non-guard who can help on the offense, but not a non-guard whose offense is wholly inside.  More offense from the backcourt is not a huge need.



 Cannon I hear you, I really do. He was the last player I wanted at the start of the year for that reason, but as Ainge has stated, It's BPA no Matter what, you can't draft for need at #3 overall. At #16 or #23 draft for need if you want.

 Murray has as much potential as anybody not named Simmons in the draft.

Today is the first day of FIBA training camp for Team Canada and it didn’t take long for Jamal Murray to make a huge impression on his NBA teammates.

Andrew Wiggins, the NBA’s Rookie of the Year, said, “He’s definitely the next big thing from Canada. If you didn’t know who he was you would think he was our age.”

Kelly Olynyk of the Boston Celtics said, “He’s going to do a great job at Kentucky.”

Now let’s get him to campus and kick some."

 TP , All Boston, The kid has it all. He's taller than Steph Curry, and more athletic. Need I say more.

He is above average but not elite.   But that being said he is a good athlete.

Here is his weakness video.

His defense isn't great, but he works hard at it. So I think he will be fine. Personally, as long as he has offensive  talent, even if his defense isn't that great, I'm still ok with it.

But don't we already have an all-NBA defender and a OK team scorer in AB?
What's the point to replace him for a all-NBA scorer and OK team defender(say if Murray can reach that point)

Because if you watched this team in the Hawks series (or at all) it was very evident that we need another bonafide scorer on this team. Isaiah can't do it all. And if we can't hit on anything in free agency, we might as well use the draft as our spring board to develop that other scorer.

And for what it's worth, i never said anything about replacing anyone.

Yes. Absolutely you Have to say more.

I do like Murray a lot tho. Steph's handle is absurd.

Curry is so much quicker that this is ridiculous. Murray is not a bad jumper, but his quickness is where his athleticism gets questioned. Being able to jump high is just a piece of the overall athletic package. Please don't take this comment as me not liking Murray. I want him to be selected if we happen keep the pick.

 Curry has gotten much better, he's 27 now and gotten better every year. Murray is 19, his future is bright.
