Those 5 steals in the video chinook posted sure looked tasty. He's so damn long!
He has a similar footwork as Tyreke Evans especially with those side-steps & long strides in traffic.

Pop has said on more than one occasion, the turnovers are not an issue. He wants him to use the time to develop what he does, and that's attack and be aggressive. Pop won a few rings with an aggressive guard who couldn't shoot, he knows the usefulness of that skill.
He's now bringing him into some NBA minuted and talking about learning decisions. Pop knows what he's doing as far as development. He's building the kids comfort and confidence, letting him know it's alright to screw up for now. Couldnt ask for a better learning environment, reminds me of Tim Duncan always being non chalant about his teammates mistakes and how it made them better.
I'm sure Pop could clamp down on the kid and make him then it over less, but at the cost of hurting his unique development? I'd prefer he keep going with the special aspects. Many similar guards coming out have had horrid turnover issues and been fine even with them. I don't see it being anything to concern about now, more of just being something wrong to find with him. If he's averaging 8 tos a game next summer league, there might need to be some adjustment taken.
For now, spread your wings and fly youngin. I like what I see.
Chinook still on par calling him one of the worst shooters of all time and whether he will ever be fix a broken shot.
His opinion of course.
Love seeing him check in to the Phoenix game with a comfortable lead and attack their interior defense instead of just running the clock down.
If he continues to work hard and improve maybe he'll be as good as Kyle Anderson.
His length at the PG position is unparalleled. I think he'd be the perfect Curry stopper if he's disciplined on defense.
I am actually indeed very excited. My attention for the Spurs grows when a prospect has the potential to grow into s om. I love seeing players mature like that. It was a pleasure to see Kawhi do that, Manu do that, and Parker do that, now I think Murray can do that. He can be the difference between a down year and being a legit contender in a couple years imo. It depends if LMA stays and what they need from him.
MCW & Tyreke Evans is just as tall & lanky. (Murray is more like MCW who has given Curry problems)
Another lanky guy who could handle the ball, rebound & get to the rim at will but wasn't much of a shooter was Ron Harper:

Personally, i think the biggest thing he has shown so soon is that they feel that he is over himself already. I think that was the first step and the fact that he has shown immense growth after the fact led to Nico getting the boot.
I gotcha, but I was referring more to Murray's wingspan.
Wingspan:
Reggie Jackson: 7'0"
Tyreke Evans: 6'11"
D'Bust: 6'10"
Rondo: 6'9"
John Wall: 6'9"
George Hill: 6'9"
Murray: 6'9"
Rose: 6'8"
Elfrid Payton: 6'8"
Mudiay: 6'8"
Jennings: 6'7"
Westbrook: 6'7"
Lillard: 6'7"
Avery Bradley: 6'7"
MCW: 6'7"
Bledsoe: 6'7"
Jrue: 6'7"
Teague: 6'7"

Needs to bulk up a bit as well. He is gonna get shoved around.
I wish he was ready NOW. We need him.
It may be a bit premature, but I do think we have higher expectations of Murray to surpass Evans and Jackson skill-wise. His speed and acceleration is also something that sets himself a part from the others one that list.
Even if we're just talking about guy who have a 6'9" or bigger wing-span then Murray is quicker than John Wall or a young Rondo.
You also have guys like Larry Hughes who were lanky & athletic but there is no information about their wingspan.
I think we are so accustomed to Parker' slow, molasses-like movement these days it makes Murray look like Usain Bolt.

3 assists and 5 TOs with no threes. Not really impressed.
Great numbers. Thanks for posting.. Murray looks really good. (Though honestly you'd hope for more than 3 assists in 43 minutes for a future pg).
Nice by Forbes. But LJC
only a rook
pointy elbows, would not bang
It's also the D-league tbh.
Shops at Walmart too
Looks like the Spurs picked the best two prospects to hold onto.
