his hitting his social networking accounts more like itI'm working on the assumption that Murray is hitting 1000 3's every day. But no need for volume 3 point shooter. The Beautiful Game didn't really have a volume 3 point shooter, just who gets the best shot. TP learned to take 3 point shots when the ball found him open, and was not a liability. I expect the same from Murray.
Murray is not a defensive guy, thats a way to label him since he has no shot.I doubt Pops trade a defensive guy. Pops always want to run that 3 guards and next year will be the best 3 guards combination he ever had, no defensive liability whatsoever, and not even counting Demar who can also play guard - that's 4 guards and a 6'11" bully
lol murray a defensive guy hahahaha
We already drafted him. His name name is Derrick White.
Right - and he's elite at it. You want him to play like Clint Capela I guess but it won't make the Spurs offense better, unless they get a superstar pnr guard who drives to the hoop and sets him up.
DD can do it a bit but I don't think he's at that level and his lack of 3 point shooting is hurting him as a pnr ball handler.

Hmmmm
Post-up is anywhere in the post, low, mid, or high. Low block is where Shaq made a living. Now days people erroneously use the terms interchangeably.
Even when LA shoots fade away jumpers, a vast amount of them start in the low to mid post area. LA is the master of negating shot blockers by bumping into them, and using the contact to get himself on balance before releasing the ball. His fade away from the baseline prevents double teams from being effective against him.
LA will have a game that ages well, especially in this NBA.
LA gets too little credit for his game imo. Take a look at how he has faired against the leagues best big men this year...he ate Towns up, made Embiid look like a scrub, and has played well in his match-ups with Anthony Davis...except for their latest match-up.
LA is so under appreciated on this forum, that it is almost criminal.
His game sure does him wonders in the playoffs... U think the same "softdridge" comes from nowhere?
KG took jumpers too, but no one ever called him soft... The guy would punish a mismatch if he has one, and wasn't afraid of contact... U gonna get tons of contact in the playoffs... That's why Aldridge always falters there
choo choo mutha as
Yet, some ST posters want to return him to the bench or make him the SG.
This thread is ridiculous, but not unusual for spurs talk. Murray is untapped potential on Offense and very useful on Defense. He has a nose for rebounds, has great speed and agility and is on a very reasonable contract. He is vocal, a bit y, and works hard to improve. Why would you give that up?
Where were you when he demolished OKC in game 1 and 2 of the '15 semi's or when he dominated Houston in a close-out road game to go to the conference Finals?
Agreed, plus Aldridge doesn't get enough credit for how strong he is, opposing bigs look overwhelmed dealing with him on the block.
He is also a fantastic finisher within 3 feet of the rim despite often not dunking, showing how skilled he is at the rim.
He's athletic, long, actually enjoys playing defense and is a gym rat. The youtube girlfriend is corny af but I'm just getting too old to care or want to understand why kids ten years younger love exposing themselves 24/7 to every public eye like that but w/e.
He's far from a finished product but he has all the tools and I'm confident the Spurs can develop him a lot more. With White earning his spot in the SL, it's up to Murray to put in the work to improve his offensive game, I think he will.
Some posters here are very, VERY confused about which player is which.
Dejounte Murray was named to the NBA 2017-2018 All-Defensive team.
And that is "not a defensive guy?" You claim.
Who were you thinking of?
Yes. With an improved offensive game/shot he should make DeMar and his big contract expendable, not be expendable, himself.
KG was a ridiculously soft player that's why he never led his team anywhere. There were articles about him never taking the big shot either and deferring. He didn't really have the arsenal down on the block to make a living which is why he faced up so much and shot so many jumpers. I do understand your point though and it's on LMA this year to produce in the playoffs. I have my own doubts on this team but really I don't see very bad match ups across the board. Besides Houston and Golden St, everyone else is a really good match up for LMA and they suck defensively. But if we face the Clips in the first round and Denver in the second, I don't see a reason why we should fear the playoffs.
finally somebody who gets it
Aside from being our best defensive player, a major rebounding asset, and able to guard multiple positions, Murray has intangibles, such as leadership capabilities, strong work ethic, and is very vocal (positively). He is not expendable. That is beyond dumb. His shot will come. Anybody heard of Chip Engelland?
People forgetting the improvement in his jumper in preseason? I think seeing white do so well will motivate him to work even harder this season and in the off season. I think he and white will be a fantastic pairing next year when he returns.
i agree. Did u make up with ur hot chick DJ?
Are you not a fan of DeMar or just his contract? Let's say he really shows up in the playoffs this year, would that make him worth the money?
I have to admit I wasn't huge on him coming over but to say I've been impressed is kinda an understatement, he has been way better then I imagined but if he just does the habitual disappearing act in the playoffs again, the reg season triumphs would be washed away pretty quickly.
Jesus christ. In every single aspect that you could've overrated him in, you overrated him.
Yeah , they're dumb.
