Just wanna shout him out...He learned quickly from that last game...Was much more composed vs Beverly this game...Had some really nice drives and passes...He just needs to have better defensive awareness, but I'm sure that will come as he plays more, because he definitely has the energy

Spurs are built and really accustomed to having a scoring PG, not a passing PG. They don't really have the guns to do anything with passes, except pass back out. Unless Murray can score 20 a night, he's not going to be the starting PG.

It's quite refreshing having a pass-first PG with size for a change. Idk if he matches up well with Houston, but I like him in general.

Yeah but they should adapt, most scoring PG are cancers, excepting Conley, CP3 and maybe some other guy.

Spurs are accustomed to having an "ELITE PG" who can break down a defense in PNR sequences...

I agree they should adapt. They should look for some good shooters who are decent defenders in transition and get a passing PG (George Hill might be available soon, but I was thinking someone with court vision).

Not for quite some time. They've instead settle for someone who can sometimes get into the paint and who will run Pop's plays and go to their spots. Tony is a cerebral PG, not super intelligent but you can tell when he's playing that he's thinking, not just runaway train (most of the time). Problem is he doesn't have the ability to do that now but his shot was coming back before his quad headed out. Like any competitive team, the Spurs need an elite PG. Elite doesn't just mean scoring a lot though, but these days it does mean a threat from 3, ability to break down a defender and get to the cup and the vision to find open shooters.

Parker only scored 20+ twice in his entire career, yet you're setting that as the minimum requirement for our 20 y/o PG to become a starter? Get real.

What? lol Parker only scored 20+ points twice in his career? Did you mean "averaged"?

There's no Tim Duncan now. These are the PG days. A PG has to be able to score. Show me a competitive team that doesn't have a scoring PG OR Lebron James.

You said Murray needs to be able to score 20 a night which I think is pretty logically the equivalent, and not a stretch to think so at all, of averaging at least 20 ppg, which Parker has done only twice in his career.

With a talent like Kawhi on our offense we don't need to have a PG do it all. With Murray's frame, an athletic 6'5 PG could be a lethal threat next to Kawhi. Kawhi wasn't what he is now when we first started him, but the amount of hands-on experience being put in a starter role is huge in rapid development. Dejounte has all the things you'd look for in an athletic, tall PG with promising ability to drive and finish. Don't think it's a stretch to say he has All-Star potential. So why would you bench him unless you've got an All-Star in the starting spot?

Parker played his entire career with Tim Duncan and mostly Manu Ginobili. Who's the Tim and Manu now?

A new PG needs to be able to score unless we get a Paul George or Gordon Hayward (gag). We'll get neither. They are too far from retirement.

It's a huge stretch to say Murray has all star potential. It's a stretch to say he has Devin Harris potential.

05-08-2017, 07:22 PM
Kawhi is the anchor defensively and our top offensive threat/ballhandler so he has elements of both Tim and Manu. While scoring more than either of them ever did by themselves.

Note that the guys who have All-Star SFs (Curry, Irving) are the only PGs on that list who are actually in contention for the Championship, and they aren't in the top 5 scorers in the league. We don't need Murray to be our offensive engine year one of starting when we have Kawhi. We need him to be able to penetrate and cause havoc on the drive more than anything else and Murray has the potential to do that.

And what the fuck are you bringing up Hayward and Paul George for in a conversation about Dejounte Murray? They are max guys and play the same position as Kawhi.

In order to assess potential, you have to have a gauge. You don't have one. You're just throwing out wild ass guesses with fandom built in. There's absolutely zero reason to think Murray has all star potential, unless you think everyone in the NBA has all star potential.

The bottom line of it all, is murray is a rookie point guard who barely played in the regular season with the exception of dleague and a few key games. He was thrown into a starting role in the middle of the playoffs against one of the toughest defenders. In two games he has shown growth, his athletic ability and effort. Give him a break, after a off season working with the coaches, he will be vastly improved. We should all be happy he fell to the spurs. The point guard spot for the future is bright, in comparrison to the power forward/ center position, which needs youth and athleticism.

And Murray DOES have all star potential...He has elite length, he has quickness, handles, and he is above average athletic for the pg position...The physical tools are there...Look at the Greek freak...He had the physical tools...That plays a part in saying someone has potential...He has shown flashes of greatness in some games he has played this season, but he never had consistent minutes, because like we are seeing now with Dedmon, pop would just sit him numerous games after he had a great game

Murray can't bring the ball up the floor without turning it over. He might be good one day, but right now he's just a scrub name on the bench. No Parker injury and you might never hear from him again.

The problem has been that he can't play half way decent for a prolong period of time, hence a couple of people wanting to start a more reliable player.

Who even thinks he would be injured right now if he came off the bench? I'd prefer 15-18mins of MVParker over 30 mins of porker.

05-08-2017, 10:02 PM
I like Murray. I think his length and athleticism give him an advantage over most PGs he'll match up against.

He's a rookie that hasn't seen the floor much and is facing the best defensive PG in the league. It's a tough situation to walk into.

I have no idea what his ceiling is, maybe George Hill? Let's not pretend he was a lottery pick, or place lottery expectations on him because he had some nice layups.

He's physically gifted, but his development will hinge mostly on his ability to work his ass off in the offseason and accept criticism. I don't know how anyone here could begin to speak to his worth ethic. He could be very well be a focused and diligent professional in the offseason, or he could be a lazy shithead.

That's great, but then why are we impressed with 4/2 on 28%? What NBA player couldn't put up those numbers? Especially when they're starting?! What did you guys expect from Murray as a starter, 2/1 on 15% shooting? Parker in his rookie playoff debut dropped 17/4 on 50% on the greatest PG defender of all time.

Parker could probably still put up 4/2 on 28% with his injury tbh.

I have no problem giving Murray a break. He has some good tools to work with and has a good chance of being a steal. That said some people don't seem to realize Parker was a ridiculously high steal that probability-wise it's unlikely Murray will match.

I agree. I'm not knocking Murray at all. He deserves a break and proper expectations. I'm just laughing so much that people's hate of TP can cloud their judgement so, so badly. Especially with regards to this year. Especially for people that clearly don't watch the team play before they talk.

You must not actually watch games. In game 3 he turned the ball over repeatedly. He was only given 2 turnovers, possibly because Houston didn't gain possession long enough before losing it out of bounds, but he was really challenged to handle the ball up top without losing it. In game 4, he dribbled the ball right into his defender and basically handed it to him. That's not something your PG needs to be doing. I can see someone like Danny Green doing it. Murray is raw, of course.

05-09-2017, 08:37 AM
Murray has a thin frame and he's never going to be a bruiser. IMO if he can develop along the lines of Barnes, Christie, Cooper strength-wise it will be a big plus and a success in that department. That and a good stroke will give him a very good shot at being a very nice steal.

Re: Murray, he was in a similar spot this year to where CoJo was his rookie season in terms of age coming into the league. Has more maturing and physical growth needed so he's not the skinniest player outside of Brandon Ingram, but not sure you could have expected someone at his position at his age in this system to do more in year 1.

He's acting like people are saying Murray can't literally dribble the ball up the floor with no one around him. That is not what people have said. We've said his handle is very loose and against pressure, like Mills, his lack of true NBA starting level handle is exposed more.

Can it change? Of course. Will it change? Hopefully. Mills still struggles with it and he's been in the NBA a long, long, time.

What is also funny is that using this line of logic should then cast some doubt on Murray as well. Many people were concerned with his frame and the ability to stay healthy. He already suffered an injury in his first year. Sure, it was not a broken bone or ligament, but the point remains.

You make it rookie tony Parker play against pat Beverly after not playing him basically the entire season and post season...Then play him for ten minutes...Afterwards compare that to a vet point guard with the greenlight to shoot that plays 25-30 minutes, then compare the stats...Ridiculous!

So then your reasoning is that any rookie is as good as Tony Parker or that any rookie will become as good as Tony Parker, so then all rookies should get the chance to start.

Murray has to get a lot stronger and develop a reliable outside shot before he's going to come close to tickling 20 ppg. He's got a whole lot of work to this summer and a few more to come.

I've liked his shooting stroke so far, he looks to be a better shooter than I expected of him already. Spurs seem to keep getting their hands on wings with shaky shooting (Anderson, Simmons) hopefully he can be a average to above average 3pt shooter to compliment his driving game.

I have no problem giving Murray a break. He has some good tools to work with and has a good chance of being a steal. That said some people don't seem to realize Parker was a ridiculously high steal that probability-wise it's unlikely Murray will match.
Exactly...odds Murray sweeps a top-5 player and wins FMVP while doing it? Pretty low tbh.

Rookie Parker could put up 4/2 on 28% blindfolded.

No he couldn't... not if he barely played in the regular season, then suddenly got 10 minutes a game with one of the games being on the road vs the best pg defender in the league...I think we are overrating TP...W forgot how bad he fell off the map in the Lakers series in 04...He was 5 years in at that point...He has been very hit or miss...Now imagine a rookie version of that who hasn't played in the regular season, then only giving him 10 minutes a game for 2 playoff Gamez...His numbers would be worse...For goodness sakes he had a postseason game THIS YEAR where he scored 0 points!

I wanted to see Murray tbh. bout the 3rd steal in the first 3 possessions I didn't need to see anymore. if you are a pg and you can't dribble to initiate offense you shouldn't be a pro... sad how zero intelligence is not a red flag when drafting

Pop is punishing Murray for scoring last game and staying to look good.
