Great PG depth with Murray, Parker, and Manu
B2B impressive performances with Parker out. Is he ready for full time minutes? Rookie mistakes are gonna happen but he has show the ability to make an impact in limited action. Thoughts?

He will be the starter sooner than many expect.
He has to be. We're not beating GS with a backcourt rotation that consists of a gimpy Parker (probable) and a 5'8" shooting guard.
Two really good performances in a row for Murray. I think he has earned a chance to get more minutes.
Starting to believe in the kid
He had a good game, but the Cavs were giving him shots. If he keeps hitting them, teams will put a higher priority on him. Kudos for showing up on national tv though. This game showed me that Parker is still our only guard I trust handling the ball down the stretch. The other guys' handles looked shaky.
He's the future, but not yet. Should def get more minutes though. He's our only player outside of Kawhi who can break down a defense off the dribble, and that's huge for us. This team needs that in a bad way.
He's closer than I thought. But he'll have a slump eventually, hopefully he gets enough minutes to get through it.
Parker and Murray, penetrators who can get theirs are a necessity against the Cavs and the Warriors.
Potential looks great, but I'd be shocked if Pop plays him real playoff minutes,tbh..
Yeah he's closer than I thought as well. I was thinking 2-3 yrs away but it may happen as early as next year
I hope he gets the start on Monday in Brooklyn. Really excited to see this kid play more minutes.
Yeah I don't see it this year. Tbh I'd play him tho. I wanna believe otherwise, but realistically this team has a WCF finals ceiling. Why not give the potential future star a chance to grow?
@ how quick low IQ spurs fans are at jumping the gun. He's played two good games with opposing teams thinking he's a nobody. You can't possibly say he's "ready" based on something as menial as that.
Jonathon Simmons had a comparable if not more impressive stretch than Murray and look at how he's fizzled out.
Ready for backup minutes, not starter. Calling people low IQ when you completely misinterpret the post

he is way ahead of schedule if you ask me..Unfortunately, Poop is going down with the old and washed per in par...
You will see him in a cameo when this in team is down 3-1 to the Clippers in the second round after seeing enough of CP3/Austin RiveRS ting on Porky and Paddy House..
He scored on james
It doesn't matter if you scouted him or not..he scored by breaking the defense down. He attacked and they couldn't do anything to stop him even when they started 5 ft back and dared him to shoot.
To be a star, he has to make them regret stepping back and learn how to consistently shoot that open shot efficiently.
HarlemHeat37, Parker seems increasingly gimpy. I don't think Pop will have a choice.
He's winning me over WAY more quickly than I thought possible.
I'm not a Paker hater but I am a excited about Murray as the point guard of the future for the Spurs after his play the past 2 games.
A lot of guys in this league get little hot streaks until other teams get tapes and start game planning to stop them. Step 1 is getting teams to care and it looks like Murray is starting to do that. But teams will gameplan and then guys on hot streaks will have bad games. The question is can a player adjust to how teams gameplan for them.Thats the next step and it can take a few years for that to happen. LeBron has credited the Spurs with helping him to get better after seeing what shots they took away and the ones they made him take early in his career.
He did, but James was giving him shots and helping double team. Murray still had to make them, but LeBron wasn't guarding him like he guarded Kawhi in the 4th quarter.
I liked that he was aggressive on D versus Irving but wasn't fouling. That was huge. This was a game where he made shots he probably won't be able to make consistently against NBA defenses (whereas in the DEN game, he can have those shots provided his three-point stroke is real). But you can never overrate a rookie who is able to have a great game under the brightest lights.
I don't think the Spurs should rush Parker back. Tony should get periodic rest periods anyway, as should Manu. Parker tends to have a good spurt after resting, so just keep doing that and see how much of DeJounte's game is consistently transferable. If he's really this guy at the ASB, you have to consider how to get him in the rotation full-time.
