I'm somewhat concerned with Dejounte Murray (video)

[tholdren]

Backup PG is his ceiling. Trade him while his value is at it's peak, tbh.

BwahahahhahahahahhaHhahahahHHHHhahhahahahahah

i am concerned with every single player on the roster.

Not as embarrassing as you saying Murray was a good draft pick every year until now.

Your response to you being ignorant about basketball is an emotional reaction to my past 40 some years ago?

Looks like you're meltdown continues. Get back on meds

People acting like a 24 year old, 6'5 two player has no trade value.

Just last month people were talking about putting him In a trade package for Atlanta's 7th pick.

His value is a 2nd rounder.

I really hope Trey gets a jumper. He has all the tools to be a great back up point guard, with Derrick as our starter. This could be a solid point guard combo for years to come if he can make open 3s. I'm beginning to think we should trade DJ and re-sign Demar.

Insert The Office "NO! NO!" gif here... Please, no. I don't care that he makes the Spurs marginally better, I don't know how much more of his bull I can bare to watch. I'd rather see young players lose 60 games learning in the process, than DeMar spearhead a team that loses 50 games whilst taking away chances from other players, pouting on the court, and instilling bad habits on the team. Re-signing Gay, DD, or LMA would be an absolute mistake.

I agree

He has been successfully neutered... And there's no Duncan to carry them to hide it... Under any other coach he would have been let loose and shown improvement year after year... As I famously said before... If steph curry was drafted by us... He'd be yanked indefinitely the first time he pulled up from 40 on a fast break... Giannis would have been to the g-league his first 3 years... Then treated like a scrub when he finally plays for the team

Maybe it’s that or maybe he’s just not an aggressive NBA scorer. He plays like an AAU player. I mean Vassell hasn’t looked scared to shoot.

Hey I think his brother is a solid backup point so it may work out in Tre’s favor.

[BackHome]

He is a second round pick anytime they can stick that is a win win cause more often then not they out off NBA after a few years.

Can we make clear that there is a player named Trey on the roster, and it isn't Tre Jones? It's not ing hard.

And we don't have a Tre Young either.

I think people on ST are stuck in this hardheaded thought that DeJounte is a PG. Thus why they about his perceived lack of PG skills.

He shouldn't be compared to Dunn, Payton or Smith because they are all more natural PG's than DeJounte (be it because of skillset or size).

Nitilikina is a much better comparison & DeJounte has improved a lot more & is (IMO) plainly better than him.

I think his ceiling is a modern version of Aaron McKie or Nate McMillan with a lot less playmaking skills than Nate. Yet, he's already better offensively than both players (after their age 24 season).

I want to see DeJounte playing consistent minutes with Derrick, with a lot less playmaking/ball handling responsibilities & more average/above average defenders around him before I'll "cast him aside."

I think his niche on the team and in the NBA is incongruent with how ST views him.

Also, all of the young guards need to improve not just DeJounte. Lonnie's defense has been piss poor in the preseason & Derrick needs to be a constant force more often like in the NBA bubble.

Keldon & Devin are exempt for now since they have such little NBA minutes played.

Brah of all the things to get mad at. Like I’m supposed to remember all the stupid ways people spell Trey, Tre, Trae. Like man gets ridiculous.

illusion those are all good clips but if you're going to show the good from that game show the bad too because it's not like he played a great game...He was productive but he did struggle at the same time.

I bet you $100 that I could go through all of DJ's minutes and find more good than bad in game 2 and 3 and I'll post them here. I'm just waiting for league pass to archive the game.

I don't see DJ value dropping, he'll be a perennial all defensive guard for the foreseeable future with the guards like Bledsoe and Beverley getting old. He is now able to put on weight a year after ACL rehab meaning his finishing and versatility on defense is going to improve naturally. If his offense take another jump to above average he will be a borderline all star. If he didn't take a huge leap in terms of his shooting last year I would share the same sentiment as most of the posters here, but last year he was top 10 FG% in midrange before the bubble and above average on spot up 3 pointers ( 41% from Jan-Mar ). Everyone seems to forget that he was mostly a cutter/slasher and dunker spot option on offense his first 2 seasons.

Defense does not pay much and 16 mil is probably the highest you would pay for an all-defense guard, but he is younger and has more offensive potential than comparable guards like Beverley(13mil), Smart(14mil) and Bledsoe(16mil).

We don't have the key piece to build around yet , why would having DJ be a problem? he is still 2 years away from his prime and he might be a good complement to a wing initiator or a scoring guard.

Even if he is, who was/is lining up for Bledsoe and Beverley? Smart and Bledsoe are clearly higher ceiling offensive players. The former is a good secondary play maker and decent shooter, while the latter is a good slasher and finisher.

If his offense takes another jump, it'll merely be in the vicinity of average. His shooting, though clearly improved, was small sample size and wide open. He's nowhere near being able to puncture defenses in p-n-r or space the floor.

He's a problem because he doesn't have value, which means stubbornly retaining him as opposed to giving up away. The money in a vacuum isn't a big deal, but he's a difficult piece to build around and because they jumped the gun on him, they might be less likely to extend White now (lack of durability doesn't help) or if they do, they'll have tied up significant money in a backcourt severely lacking in offensive dynamism.
