Spurs are built and really accustomed to having a scoring PG, not a passing PG. They don't really have the guns to do anything with passes, except pass back out. Unless Murray can score 20 a night, he's not going to be the starting PG.
Just wanna shout him out...He learned quickly from that last game...Was much more composed vs Beverly this game...Had some really nice drives and passes...He just needs to have better defensive awareness, but I'm sure that will come as he plays more, because he definitely has the energy

It's quite refreshing having a pass-first PG with size for a change. Idk if he matches up well with Houston, but I like him in general.
Yeah but they should adapt, most scoring PG are cancers, excepting Conley, CP3 and maybe some other guy.
He hasn't shown any flashes of passing...
Spurs are accustomed to having an "ELITE PG" who can break down a defense in PNR sequences...
What rookie pg cab score 20 a night? Dont be ridiculous
Murray says, "Heeeyy."
I agree they should adapt. They should look for some good shooters who are decent defenders in transition and get a passing PG (George Hill might be available soon, but I was thinking someone with court vision).
You think Pop is going to start a rookie PG?
Not for quite some time. They've instead settle for someone who can sometimes get into the paint and who will run Pop's plays and go to their spots. Tony is a cerebral PG, not super intelligent but you can tell when he's playing that he's thinking, not just runaway train (most of the time). Problem is he doesn't have the ability to do that now but his shot was coming back before his quad headed out. Like any compe ive team, the Spurs need an elite PG. Elite doesn't just mean scoring a lot though, but these days it does mean a threat from 3, ability to break down a defender and get to the cup and the vision to find open shooters.
Parker only scored 20+ twice in his entire career, yet you're setting that as the minimum requirement for our 20 y/o PG to become a starter? Get real.
What? lol Parker only scored 20+ points twice in his career? Did you mean "averaged"?
There's no Tim Duncan now. These are the PG days. A PG has to be able to score. Show me a compe ive team that doesn't have a scoring PG OR Lebron James.

You said Murray needs to be able to score 20 a night which I think is pretty logically the equivalent, and not a stretch to think so at all, of averaging at least 20 ppg, which Parker has done only twice in his career.
With a talent like Kawhi on our offense we don't need to have a PG do it all. With Murray's frame, an athletic 6'5 PG could be a lethal threat next to Kawhi. Kawhi wasn't what he is now when we first started him, but the amount of hands-on experience being put in a starter role is huge in rapid development. Dejounte has all the things you'd look for in an athletic, tall PG with promising ability to drive and finish. Don't think it's a stretch to say he has All-Star potential. So why would you bench him unless you've got an All-Star in the starting spot?
Parker played his entire career with Tim Duncan and mostly Manu Ginobili. Who's the Tim and Manu now?
A new PG needs to be able to score unless we get a Paul George or Gordon Hayward (gag). We'll get neither. They are too far from retirement.
It's a huge stretch to say Murray has all star potential. It's a stretch to say he has Devin Harris potential.
Kawhi is the anchor defensively and our top offensive threat/ballhandler so he has elements of both Tim and Manu. While scoring more than either of them ever did by themselves.
Note that the guys who have All-Star SFs (Curry, Irving) are the only PGs on that list who are actually in contention for the Championship, and they aren't in the top 5 scorers in the league. We don't need Murray to be our offensive engine year one of starting when we have Kawhi. We need him to be able to penetrate and cause havoc on the drive more than anything else and Murray has the potential to do that.
And what the are you bringing up Hayward and Paul George for in a conversation about Dejounte Murray? They are max guys and play the same position as Kawhi.
You should have a nice dictionary date with the word potential; it seems like you think it means something other than what it actually does.
Murray has to get a lot stronger and develop a reliable outside shot before he's going to come close to tickling 20 ppg. He's got a whole lot of work to this summer and a few more to come.
In order to assess potential, you have to have a gauge. You don't have one. You're just throwing out wild ass guesses with fandom built in. There's absolutely zero reason to think Murray has all star potential, unless you think everyone in the NBA has all star potential.
Well yeah, there are only 2 teams in contention for a championship. No .
Are you really this ing stupid? Wanna be troll is wanna be. Go back into your s until the next post season, got.
The bottom line of it all, is murray is a rookie point guard who barely played in the regular season with the exception of dleague and a few key games. He was thrown into a starting role in the middle of the playoffs against one of the toughest defenders. In two games he has shown growth, his athletic ability and effort. Give him a break, after a off season working with the coaches, he will be vastly improved. We should all be happy he fell to the spurs. The point guard spot for the future is bright, in comparrison to the power forward/ center position, which needs youth and athleticism.

Man people saying our future PG needs to score 20 a game are you serious? Cause we had a tons of ty takes about wanting a passing PG and now u saying we need a scoring PG. which is it?
Another 2013 account that's posted once since then.
Some pinked gnsf trying to build.
Last time he did that, we ended up with Tony Parker...So why not? Murray has more talent than parker did as a rookie
