Dejounte Murray Injury Thread

[r0drig0lac]

You saying White is the future is equally laughable

[buttsR4rebounding]

I think the jury is still out on DJMs jump shot. It's a learnable skill and the limited preseason body of work was encouraging. You can bet he has been working hard on it during rehab. Best case IMO is Murray develops a passable 3 point shot and starts at the 2 next to White. If you could trade Demar for a Covington type you have the makings of something special. Even with Demar you are really solid. I think you have to wait to see what DJM has developed before giving up on him.

[Blackhaus]

Yeah looking forward to the start of next season with hopefully a fully healed backcourt and LW a year older.

[acoelho1]

Murray will be our starting pg next year.. book it.

[look_at_g_shred]

Anyone believe that he could achieve what Fox has done offensively? Or even say, D'angelo Russell?

He’s gonna be the 1. And I’m so confused that fans of a franchise that had Manu Ginobili, a hall of famer as their 6th man doesn’t realize we can bring White off the bench in that same 30 mpg role. Best players don’t always have to start as long as they get their minutes (Lou Williams as well). I’m not opposed to your Covington type trade though.

White is starting next year. He has earned the right and he is the only one who really knows how to feed LMA. He is the only natural point guard we have. Murray will come off the bench and start off the year slowly. Pop will have him on some limitations and surrounding him with shooters on the bench while he is the only slasher will help Murrays development in becoming a point guard. Plus his defense/rebounding will help shore up the bench.

Lonnie will be fine guys. We drafted a 19 year old kid. It takes a while for them to learn and develop. His shot is good and his athleticism is world class. He just needs to learn defense and stay healthy.

White AND Murray will start. If it's a break, Murray takes the reins. If it's half court, White.

[Dex]

Anyone who thinks DJ won't be starting next season must be huffing paint.

White will probably be starting too.

[Gordy58]

Murray, White, Derozan, Gay, Aldridge is pretty solid and gives us a great balance of defense and offense. Walker will definitely get better too.

Looks like a solid #5 seed. Great job PATFO!

[Gordy58]

and what exactly are you expecting then to do? They got young guys to build around plus two first round picks. The spurs can compete with just about any nba team in the playoffs. Except probably GS. Dejounte returning will be a huge boost for the defense. And would make everybody more switchable on defense as well.

We'd probably be #3 right now with DeJounte.

[John B]

Dijon in the house. No signs of limping. Can we expect him to be back sooner than later?

[Duncan87]

100% No

[slick'81]

Not this season

[John B]

Not this season

Alrighty then

[tonski17]

Start Dejounte, then white off the bench, but white should have more minutes, white has better chemistry with the second unit.

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, would have been nice to have Brogdon instead of him..

[dbestpro]

I run White and Murray and see if I can't find the right trade for DDR to bring in a true SF and maybe some picks.

[GusT15]

Damn, would have been nice to have Brogdon instead of him..

One time,ONE TIME the front office had to stay true to their culture and draft the quiet dude who stayed 4 years in college,the dude who was Spurs "material",the dude who Pop was gonna love and have loooooong conversations and long walks on the beach with a glass of wine,and what do they do?

They go ahead and draft an uncertain project in DJ Murray.

Get well soon DJ,every time i watch Brogdon play i curse RC Buford for drafting you over him.

[acoelho1]

You should curse yourself because Murray is light years better than Brogdon.

[R. DeMurre]

I like Brogdon, but let's give Murray another full season before we make comparisons. This is Brogdon's 3rd full year, and he's playing well. This year definitely represents a leap for him in terms of effectiveness and impact on the court. Last year was year #2 for both Murray and Brogdon, but Murray was 21 and Brogdon was 25, so I'd say the potential for growth favors Murray.

[GusT15]

I'll bite.
Light years better,at what? I don't want "At everything","At basketball","He has a hotter girlfriend" kind of answers.

An actual basketball take.At what aspect of the game in the year 2019 is Dejounte Murray LIGHT YEARS better than Brogdon?

Perimeter space defense and passing lane coverage? Sure,sure. Rebounding? Maybe.

What else? Cause it's sure as isn't shooting,passing,dribbling,scoring in general,3pt %,Free throw %,Fg% in general,on ball defense,post defense.

Light years worse may be a better basketball take.

[Dverde]

Brogdan is a nice player. If DJ Murray can develop a reliable jumpshoot he is a top 10 PG. He’ll probably lead his position in rebounds one day (I don’t include Westbrook stat padding rebounds).
