murray played lights out with his boy lebron in town. seriously though, murray's contributions are so well-rounded, one has to feel positive about his potential once he can get some consistency on his shot.
It's obviously steals otherwise if it were assists, that stat line would have been done thousands of times with assists.

I wonder if White can play at all? I guess we'll find out next year. Maybe.
I think for sure he gets his opportunity next season. We really haven't seen enough of him... for the few minutes he has gotten he has been impressive defensively which is rare to see for a rookie.
I think he could maybe, perhaps, do a Danny Green impersonation of sorts if Danny doesn't come back...
Speciallyif the Spurs were to go after a pricy FA (which I don't expect personally, but if...) they will have to cut corners in the roleplayer department.
White looks straight up re ed tbh
Ball handling under pressure...
Consistent defensive effort.
Passes not telegraphed.
Big list. Eventually, running a cohesive unit.
Time and patience required with the realization of how difficult it is to play PG in the NBA.
It might not work out. A game against his big brother while feasting on I. Thomas and we get a bit excited with a very athletic kid.
I agree with this, but would say the pg spot is probably the easiest to play for skilled pgs. However, the focus of the game is entertainment rather than skill, so pgs are coming in as sgs with limited skill set rather than all around game.
real good showing against the Kings. hope he can put together some consistently good games. for all his flaws he's still the best choice at PG. i have zero faith in patty and parker looks closer to retirement than manu.
Tp assist same as murray assists... murray had a good night, but two things still happened. Fox outplayed him. And he only looks decent against terrible teams that dont defend. That is not skill... he needs to put up that statline every game and work on his court vision. He played a nice game.
the funny thing is...if murray and fox's stats were reersed, u would have brought up the fact that murray would have had turnovers, and a worse plus minus, AND lost the game...Fox is a top 3 draft pick...he is SUPPOSED to outplay murray...
Saw this on ESPN.
Dejounte Murray has taken over as the Spurs' starting point guard and is averaging 13.5 points, 5.3 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game in his past four starts. Before a move to a bench role, Tony Parker had started 587 consecutive regular-season and playoff games. -- Jose De Leon

Over/under on him getting a triple double before the season ends?
I'd take the zero. He doesn't handle the ball long enough. 6 assist per game would be ideal.
But he will have a couple of games where everything goes right and has the chance to pull it off, imho.
well... leading up to the trade deadline, murray is out there making a case that he can handle starting duties. if PATFO needed him to show something to prevent them from pulling the trigger, he has.
eh. his career high in assists right now is 7. sure maybe he'll have a game where he hits 10, but the odds of that coming in the same game where he also puts up 10/10 in the other stats? even more slim. there's only 30 games left in the season.
I'd say multiple but the big problem for him is Pop keeping an artificial ceiling on his minutes to gift time to Parker and Mills.
He's only played 30+ minutes twice all season. Parker is the respected elder who has done some good against second units and Mills is paid way too much money to only play 18 minutes a game. Mills has only played 3 times under 18 minutes and has 2 games over 30 himself.
Pop limiting his minutes will be the only thing stopping him from a triple double...he can easily get 10+ rebounds and points if given 35+ minutes...and if there is a night where we are hitting on all cylinders, triple double easily
Going to be optimistic and I think he does it.
It’s a gamble for sure but Pau has had one and Kyle had a points/assists double double so it’s possible with sufficient minutes played and just a magical night where guys make shots off your passes...
If Kiwiw gets healthy it’s unlikely although just passing to Kiwi is a way to get assists. Dude is young can’t tell how much or quickly he keeps improving.
Also, I just feel like being optimistic about something this season... and I don’t care about the 50 win streak...
That’s true. Minutes do limit opportunities
Certainly possible but not too likely, especially when Kawhi returns. I'll say 10% chance.
Only idiots use plus minus. So youre wrong again.
