Mountaintop Monastery of Dejounte Murray

Can't say he didn't get his opportunity with Parker out and Mills sucking balls; he simply didn't make the most of it--just not ready yet..

Because hes dumber than a rock

I keep saying... He needs to play with the starters... The reason rookie Parker was able to grow so fast was because he didn't have much pressure on him playing with starters since they require so much attention... He had room to grow... Same with Manu... Playing on the bench where the defense can focus on you and all you have is bench scrubs to pass to won't do Murray any favors... And he can't possibly play worse than Mills... Plus we pay so much attention to his missed shots, but overlook his defense... Teams can't abuse him like they do with mills and forbes...

Look at Kyle... He would have looked much worse had he been playing on the bench... The attention and spacing the other players provide him in the starting unit allows him to grow his game without as much pressure... But I guess that concept is too complicated for you to understand

To quote Parker about what he did before joining the Spurs, "I had been playing with and against grown men for years in Europe." He was much more seasoned than Murray is at the same age.

Yeah, but what about basketball?

Answer my question...and be honest... Would Parker have progressed as fast as he did if he didn't play with Duncan and the other starters? The fact that he played with grown men instead of kids is testament to my point... He was able to accelerate his growth playing with better players so then he didn't have as much pressure and attention on him from the defense

So you're saying Kyle would look the same if he played with the bench? U don't think he would look worse? You're weird if u don't see that

He turned from Mr Flash (someone who was looking to make flashy plays) to Mr Vanilla.

I don't know if the Spurs are screwing up his development or not, but they've got him playing like a placeholder.

He sucked in college. What did you expect?

Pop on Dejounte:
“He’s been a real pro. He’s ready whenever we call on him. Some games we start him, some games he doesn’t play, some games he plays partial, like tonight. But he’s been wonderful. He’s really matured quickly and is doing a good job.”

He really has been wonderful the last three games after Pop had given preference to Forbes who had been playing 30 minutes on some games.
-----------------------------
One really wonders how Pop is going to deal with his development. I think Pop makes young players wait for their time initially (see Derrick White), but when a young player gives signs of being rotation caliber Pop has dilly dallied a lot.

[Ice009]

Forbes has not been good at all lately. He's hit a couple of big shots in the past week or two, but apart from that he hasn't played or shot the ball well. I think it's time Murray got more of a chance. I like his potential and disruptive play on defense. He's also now taking open shots on offense, which is also a good sign.

[Ice009]

Taking open shots with confidence is what I was looking for from him on offense. I'm starting to see that now, so that is a big step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. He isn't afraid to take a shot, which is a sharp contrast to one of our other players (not a dis - just a fact). I think his mid-range form looks much better.

[BackHome]

I hated on him when he sucked but I am willing to give him props for playing much better. He is now confident but not y and is playing good defense some of his fouls are on the refs BS calls

Exactly.
Much more suited to playoff basketball.

I just hope CIA Dipstick hasn't got him overthinking with his
*be like Chrissy Paul* bull .

Forbes. GTFO he's just a regular season Bonbon.

Better than Fatty and it honestly isn't even close

[spursistan]

Still can't shoot for , and one wonders if this dude is even practicing shooting the basketball in the gym even from the free throw line..

The whole organization is on auto pilot. He should have been working on it from day one.

[Mr. Body]

I love how you guys think Murray isn't working on his jump shot. Like everyone thought about it and went, 'Nah.'

[tholdren]

Forbes is better than murray
