I like the fact that the kid is a rebounding machine...

Great article on Murray. Don't know if somebody already posted it.

Quote from the article:
"But look at the things we can measure. Read again what master of all things analytics Kevin Pelton said about Murray’s projected NBA shooting. Well you don’t have to scroll up, I will paraphrase: it’s the worst. Not only the worst in this draft. Or last year’s draft. Or this decade’s drafts. Or the drafts of this millennium. Nope. THE. WORST EVER."
Holy Jimmy that man is hating on the kid. I guess he feels he isn't hating because ends with "kids had never been coached" and "nba is hard" but everything up to that point is that kid is the worst ever and only a first round pick bc rich Paul made him one.
now I kept waiting for him to say.....but the spurs can fix that .....But he never did? Can someone console me, can the spurs fix it?
He's worth the gamble. Maybe Spurs saw that, in a disciplined system, those things can be fixed. But, damn those gif's are hard to swallow. I am sad.
I wonder what his reaction was to the Spurs drafting him? That was pretty brutal.
So the least efficient, worst defender in Husky history, who is the most turnover prone and whose athleticism is mostly illusory, who gives zero effort and who can't rebound or play team defense...
...went in the first round because of his agent.
Yeah sure. This guy just sounds like a hater.
College basketball is a terrible sport. That a 19 year old playing with a bunch of 20 year olds makes a bunch of mental mistakes and plays wildly out of control shouldn't come as a surprise. Besides, no team was going to draft Murray because they though he could contribute next year. He has all of the physical and mental tools to be able to excel in the NBA if he works hard for the next few years and if he is well coached. That article was just a long, bitter way of saying that.
He said he wants him all the best and that he hopes he is wrong. I hope he is wrong.
"Murray’s projected .458 true shooting percentage would become the worst for any first-round pick in my database."
That is pretty bad. If Chip fixes that...
Yeah this whole thing seems like it is written by a guy that was offended by murray sometime? I wonder if he didn't sign an autograph for this guy one time? Or maybe he didn't say HI with enough enthusiasm.
Worst ever? this dude is hyperbole because of something personal.
Actions speak louder than words.
he can say what he wants but there is something personal here.
He didn't take a picture with his daughter...
Worst projected true shooting % for any first-round pick, ever. It is a fact.
Damn.
I wish I hadn't read that, I didn't need to get more pissed off that the Spurs took him over Gary Payton II
I knew the defense had holes, but I didn't know it was that damn terrible.
The bad shooting we knew, and I knew of Pelton's numbers showing him being bad.
But that defense and defensive effort will keep him out of the NBA. And the reason is the lack of improvement over the season at Washington, the evidence is damning.
He is light years from playing serviceable NBA ball.
I think they interviewed the kid and got the impression from him that he will work hard on his deficiencies and bc he's young they gambled that he can improve.
RC had to take gambles in the draft on possible high upside guys with fixable things. If he doesn't fix those things he won't stick around.
GP2 went undrafted, so the Spurs could've had him if they moved fast enough. But the front office wanted shooters to make up for the lack of 3-point production from the PG position, hence they signed Ryan Arcidiacono and Bryn Forbes instead.
Murray is really a longer term project to replace Manu.
Man you guys are so easily manipulated.
So the professionals, on TV, or that have drafted NBA talent before don't know as much as some random dude who happened to go to Washington. Because a lot of the professionals have stated the Spurs got a steal. But because some jaded fan cherry picks some plays and stats he seems to know?
And your our upset we didn't draft Peyton? The same dude NOBODY else drafted either?
oh good God!
Murray should be made to read this entire article every morning.
Pop should tell him to recite every word from memory before he sees a minute on the floor.
This is so good, you'd almost swear the Spurs put the guy up to writing it -- like the two guys in the gym, one who pretends to harass the hottest chick and the other who steps in to ingratiate himself.
Bravo!
