Look no one drafted 29 in the first round can be considered a bust. If your a top ten pick and you don't produce then you can use that label.
If he works out and can be a starter or be a backup then you can use the words good or steal.
I appreciate that the Spurs arent stashing this pick, and that they are addressing their biggest need this summer, PG depth.

Congrats on using hindsight. That's hardly a bad take since even the spurs admitted they didn't believe kawhi had the upside he actually has shown.
not sure why all these FO experts on spurs talk judge the FO by the draft and the draft alone. that is, without putting the draft in context. an appropriate evaluation would be one that would take into account players obtained outside the draft, management of the cap, maximizing the potential of late selection picks and knowing when to give up or opt out on a player selected from the draft in favor of one signed through free agency, brought in from europe or picked up from the developmental league.
Livingston seems to do okay while being really thin.
It's a good pick up for 29th pick. I like that he has a lot of natural basketball instincts and has wingspan like Danny Green (6'10").
The hatred of Kyle is almost cultish. It's definitely immature and ignorant, and all you have to do is look at who the ringleaders are for evidence of that.
Bunch of dumb s populating this board.
I still don't see the same explosion and speed that Murray plays with.
This is a fantastic pick. With the proper coaching and environment we've got a 19 year old with great upside to mold into something great.
I don't care about draft boards or rankings. You give this organization something to work with and they'll get the best out of it. A lot of these top picks are going to go to terrible organizations that will never develop them and they're going to end up wasting away never becoming anything great. This young guy is going to surpass them by leaps and bounds purely because of his cir stances.
Better pick than Fathead, I guess.
parker was not a great shooter when he came in to the league either, but he had quickness and the ability to get to the basket. and he was never really a pass first guard as we all know. this guy may have a higher ceiling than TP did.
Plus its entertainment. What are the reporters supposed to say - this is terrible talent?
It was a junk draft. If these bozos succeed it will have everything to do with the condition of the nba and "talent"
Here is David Locke's breakdown of him pre-draft, 3 weeks ago:

He's probably too wild to get any minutes from Pop his rookie year, as even mature rookies get benched without cause.
So while I put up Pelton's cautions to add balance to this thread about his being a project, and heavily preferred Payton II to the point of severe disappointment, Murray does pass the Parker test for me. Meaning that I would rather see him play than Parker despite the current flaws. Unfortunately that's not likely.
That's good. Maybe he'll have a chip on his shoulder.
Some folks had high expectations... he was invited to the green room, so he expected being at least a lottery pick.
Nice review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in9H...ature=youtu.be
He's got a natural sense for the ball, can't teach that. He could become really good though!

Did the Spurs get another steal in the draft?
Kevin Pelton (4:10 PM)
The Spurs took Murray about where I thought he should have gone. What I like about the pick is that Murray's career will probably hinge on his ability to develop as a shooter, and there's no better place to do that than San Antonio with Chip Engelland.
Which already applies to Anderson who was also very young when drafted. Ppl just expect all star type talent from kids still getting it together. That plus a lot of trolling.
When you draft that low in the first round all you can do is hope that the player who is drafted at that spot can be a good role player. It usually takes a few years for these young players to develop. Case in point is Cojo who is now a solid role player but he wasn't able to contribute his first 3 years with the Spurs.
LMAO, alright.
livingston was the first player that came to my mind.
He won't be nearly that good(pre-injury version), but becoming a one income level lower version would still be a damn good player.
Worth to mention that spurs tried to move up and draft the franch guy Yabusele... Murry to me is a long shot to become a good player, too much raw and unconventional game...
His lack of athleticism seems to hurt him.Geez, am I the only one who hasn't given up on Anderson?I thought he was solid enough for a 22 year-old in his 2nd season. Think he'll be a solid role player for the bench unit, which is all you can really ask for from a 30th pick.
