Would be nice to see Murray become a better one-on-one defender. Getting him into the habit of studying other guys to figure how to play them is really good. Obviously, getting a year of offensive meetings will only make him more cerebral. Dude should also be able to work on the upper body even with the injury. Would only help him finish against contact and body up larger guys (though in the latter case, lower-body strength is more important).
Really like that idea a lot.
When I was in HS, I worked for the JV team as a stat guy when I was a freshman and got to sit with the coaches and hear them talk about the game in real time and after the game. It changes your perspective on things and you can learn a lot that way.
Also keeping him around the team and making him feel included is smart, keeps him away from his Uncles
lucky guy
Great idea. From an organizational perspective, this would hopefully get more buy in from DJ and helps with his understanding of the game.
Seems like PATFO are tweaking their philosophy a bit after the whole Kawhi saga. While keeping the team first philosophy, doing things like this engages the core players more. Not everyone's gonna be intrinsically motivated like Duncan and Manu.
Spurs on the forefront of doing things differently.
I think the whole Kawhi thing was learning experience and many different levels.
made my day
Coach’s pet
Seems weird considering all the meetings will be about how they can hide Patty and Bryn on defense
Good move. I wanted this team to start using new tactics and strategies to deal with young players and keep them involved and motivated.
For a 20 years old Murray will be a very nice experience learing how coaches read games, how and why they draw some plays, how they scout and find rivals' weaknesses...

Sadly, they let some uncle to take advantage of a bad situation. But it's great to see they learned from that...Smart people learn from a mistake and never make it twice.
Smart move by the Spurs and that should help his development. I expect great things from Murray and love what he brings leadership wise which Kawhi was sorely lacking.
Murray's the new TP and will be with this team for 15 years. Hopefully he takes a discount so we can get good players.
At least if he doesn’t pan out, we have a future assistant coach on the making?
He's represented by Rich Paul. He's going to definitely get paid.
The bigger concern for the Spurs is getting out of him what he's worth once the day comes but hopefully he progresses past this injury to new heights.
That was how Becky started. She was a coaching intern her next to last playing season when she got injured.At least if he doesn’t pan out, we have a future assistant coach on the making?

Looks like he is moving around okay with Jilly again...
sorry for the wrong thread but when White and Walker are scheduled for possible return?
Don't forget that Murray being willing to do this, instead of just chilling, says a lot about his character too. There's much more to working hard than just being a gym rat.
I think he’s about to lose the starting PG to Forbes. He needs to catch up.
Walker is out for 6-8 weeks so he’ll be back in december i guess and will play a lot of g-league imo.
For derrick, that’s the same 6-8 weeks but spurs said it could be 2-4 weeks. Actually he’s out since the 10th of october , i hope he’ll be back by mid-november/early december .

I imagine Forbes is actually taking minutes from Mills/White right now with what he's proven.
all pop said last night was that both white and walker were progressing nicely but that white would likely be back before walker. he refused to give a time line because he doesn't want to be held to any target date.
