Mountaintop Monastery of Dejounte Murray

Hopefully he gets an above the rim big to play with so his alley oop passing skill isn't stunted like Parker's was, I remember him throwing the ball all kinds of out of bounds in the all star game trying to throw lobs.

Look at Derrick White today. His whole life throwing bounce passes because he's with Poeltl, Pau, Aldridge, Joffrey, Dieng, and Eubanks so he's not used to having someone like Robert Williams, nearly threw that guys shoulder out of socket with how he had to reach to catch a Derrick lob.

After watching Jones and Murray alley hoop to Walker, I think it's better for Murray to keep to simple passes which he is effective at.

But but he posts videos on Instagram

and that stupidity was never seen here again.

it was one “alley-hoop” probably shouldn’t make too many conclusions on that.

I think some credit has to go to DeRozan for teaching DJ the midrange.

Relax he is no Danny Green.

Dejounte Murray had 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds against Atlanta on Friday night, and he followed that up the next night with 31 points and 12 assists against the Pelicans. He had just one turnover in each game. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Murray is the first player to record back-to-back games with at least 30 points and 10 assists with one or fewer turnovers since turnovers were tracked in 1977-78. -- Lopez

Pretty impressive stuff

^ some pretty good company there

[XDT76]

2 top 30s for the Spurs, but we are fighting for lottery. So we should trade the whole team except these 2?

The kid deserves his new found success! He’s a keeper.

DJ was nominated for Western Conference player of the week. Doncic won though

[Ocotillo]

Ahead of Demar interestingly enough.

[PhantomDashCam]

Joker being an "average" of 1.0 in catch-alls would have to be some kind of record, no?
DJ's is obviously impressive but that is straight absurd that a guy finished number 1 in each of those 10 rankings.

The boards going down, while the efficiency and assists going up. Showing what's really valuable about DJ, tbh.

It is no surprise that he will be more efficient with lesser board especially if he fight less for it. As he will be more fatigue with all those jumping, we really need a competent PF, regardless of winning last 2 we are still killed on the boards.

[DAF86]

Needs to work on that clutch time execution.

[CGD]

Came down to earth some tonight

Came down to earth some tonight

Well that is the next step he needs to take when he gets all the attention of the defense in clutch time.

The more I think about it, I realize that Murray’s rise further grows the Spurs’ reputation for developing players. Think about it: MANY young players would point to Kawhi being their favorite player and attributed his success to the Spurs. I recall many videos of prospects coming out of college stating that they wouldn’t mind being drafted by the Spurs because of how Kawhi developed. Murray would be another example for young kids. I think it will cause future players drafted by the Spurs to believe in the program even more, and the fact that Murray was a 29th pick will strengthen that. This is a very good thing.

I haven't heard anyone say this. I don't keep up with young college player/prospects, but just wondering if more than 1-2 players have said this? If so, that may be a good thing if some of these young kinds actually want to be drafted by the Spurs. I thought most of them wanted to avoid playing in SA. I didn't expect hardly any to attribute Kawhi's success as much to the Spurs and his own work ethic and desire to do whatever it takes to be great.

I honestly think DJ is going to will this team to the Play-In Tournament. It's going to come down to March 23rd to April 3rd when they play the Blazers 3 times in that 12 day time span.

If Murray can get his 3pt % to around 35% and increase his effiency, league better watch out. He could be a perennial all star.

[lefty20]

Upping that FTA wouldn't hurt either, tbh.
