Can apply to this current Spurs squad as well, imo.
Playmaking by committee, we don't need one shorty pounding the air outta the ball or burning half of the shot clock trying to "set the table".
Murray averaged 12.5 ppg his rookie summer league. The fact that you believe this was Dejounte really trying and is some sort of validation of Murray outperforming Wesley is confusing. There’s no need to embellish.

After Murray threw up a 21 point, 5 rebound debut against the Celtics in which he shot an efficient 8/12 from the floor, he began to show how raw he was.In the following four games, Murray was incredibly inefficient, as his lack of shooting and decision making overshadowed his natural ability. Murray’s four game slump made him look like he just wasn’t ready to contribute on this level, even though his potential was clearly there.
For a point guard, averaging 8.5 points, one assist, and four turnovers per game is a nightmare. Even though his rebounding and defense were legitimate bright spots, Murray’s performance after his debut was down right awful.

He'll have the rest of the off season after SL to work with the coaching staff after his recent play on what he should be focusing on and plenty of tape illustrating why.
See how he looks after December then make a decision over the summer
Is it too soon to cut him? This dude couldn't finish at the basket if his career depended on it
On Blake defense, I think he is one of the better perimeter defenders out there, and that's a big start. His handles are getting so much better.. He is so much stronger and that would only help him finish
he wont be cut, but im not sure its a lock that they'll pick up his 3rd year option. they have 2 weeks to decide that.
with how many expiring deals we're already looking at though (mcdermott, osman, collins, graham*), i think they'll pick it up regardless
meh....hes just another cory joseph at this point
Wesley's 4th year salary in 2025-2026 is around $4.7M. If the cap goes up 10% each of the next two years that $4.7M would represent about 2.9% of the cap. imo that's little enough that it's well worth picking up that option because if he ends up being a late bloomer the Spurs get a chance to find out while he's still on the team.
His roster spot is a bigger constraint than his salary.
Wesley is nothing like CoJo in terms of skillset, but CoJo carved out a long career as a solid backup PG. Wesley having a similar impact in the league would be amazing.
Don’t put Wesley on Joseph’s level.
And CoJo on his 14th season??
Hi shooting is rough, but I am not done with him. Above-average defense. He'll work on the finishing. He'll be alright.
He's Lonnie without the jumping ability
i ment like average shooter with decent ball handling that plays d....We have that already with tre jones....Hope he wouldAnd CoJo on his 14th season??
step up and end up being the starter for this team...Dont look like it tho
Gatdamn I can't say how wrong you all are about him. What a bunch of noobs.
Keep waiting for him to show anything. He has no court vision, he can't shoot, he can't hit free throws, and the team just bled points while he was on the floor. I'm seeing zero improvement.
If there is a roster crunch, why not cut him, tbh?
What's the crunch?
CJ contributed on a le team. He dunked on Serge Ibaka against OKC and helped turn that series around. At this point, Wesley becoming CJ would be amazing.
I have been a Wesley supporter but it seems like he needs another season in Austin if he wants any type of NBA career...
You sll know that PG is the hardest position, setting the tempo, distributing, creating offense. Already he’s above average defender, his handles are much improved, he can push the ball. It’s baby step steps to the toughest job in the NBA.
He's doing fine. Just ignore the gaggle of idiots. They have no idea what they're looking at.
I think he's doing some things well and isn't likely to be cut. But I also don't particularly like what I see out there. PG remains the biggest long-term need on the roster at this point.
Please…..they are almost opposites. Lonnie played no D and was out of position frequently with low, low , low BBIQ. Wesley plays very good D, seems to have decent BBIQ but thinks he’s a mason.
Yes, thank you. Lonnie and Blake are almost complete opposite players.
I have a clear idea of what I'm looking at, which is a guy who isn't doing fine at all, and hasn't shown anything yet after one year that lets suggest he can have a real impact or place on this team.
4 pts at 2/10, 4 ass/2to, -16 +/- tonight and not the defensive ace some desperately try to make him. maybe confusing activity and efficiency or BBIQ... Yeah, he's gesticulating out there, but to no avail and for no real positive production. I don't know if he'll ever find a place in this league but as of now he's a scrub who can't finish for his life at the rim, which in a team where Wemby will open a lot of lines is a deal breaker. He's still G League material at this point, just hoping he'll somehow get it there, but does he have the tools for that?
That's just blind love, "hey look, Wesley is moving on a BB court!"
