Keegan Murray Intro Press Conference
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
Sometimes it's the little things. Noticed when Keegan held up new #13 Kings jersey displayed with full knowledge camera location and proper angle up to his body for best shot. Then turned it over for front-on shot, again perfectly centered. But most interesting part was how after that photo op placed his jersey back on table where seated and gently folded it - like with reverence. Not just tossing it down like some old rag. What does this little stuff mean? Shows a certain careful attention to detail which is reported hallmark everything Keegan Murray does on and off the court. I can't believe dumb (2nd round obsessed) Sactown press corps did not ask Keegan why selected #13. What bunch of worthless nitwits!
I think what some people are missing when they talk about trading the second round picks or whether Sasha Vezenkov is coming over this summer or not is that we currently have 7 players on the roster with expiring contracts. Monte might try to package some of them as part of a bigger trade or he might keep them to guarantee more cap space next season. It's hard to know right now if there will even be roster spots left to add anybody. Keegan Murray gets a spot. Keon Ellis might get a spot. I think most of us expect Donte DiVincenzo and Damian Jones to get contract offers. Without a trade that's pretty much the roster. Next summer when spots open up, that's probably when Sasha comes over and we actually have space to draft someone in the second round again.
Good to see these local reporters develop some spine. The gloves have been on for wayyyyy too long. Monte really said #37 for two late, future seconds was good asset management. Lolzzzzz. Is he betting on Luka retiring?
And he tap danced around the Euro dude. Someone shoulda asked, Monte, since the trade, have you or anyone in the org talked to the Euro dude? Hahahahahaha.

I enjoyed watching him, I thought he was really well spoken, he didn't always give the answer that the reporters were looking for but he obviously seems to speak with some thought and doesn't just shoot off the cuff. I think that's good for what we need.
He also had enough sense not to talk too much about Fox being at his workout, whatever the role was (Did you play with him?)
It might have been nice to hear him talk about how he envisioned the interplay between Fox, Sabonis and himself but on the other hand I'd rather hear Mike Brown tell us that.

TBH I was just delighted that they didn't start asking about Ivey trade down scenarios. It's like this is Keegan's day you jerks. I really think the organization is justified limiting folks access if they are going to ask questions like that. I am not saying don't ask hard questions but do it when appropriate, not on Keegan's parade day.
I think he was crying because they were presenting him with Detroit jersey of his grandfather, father and mother. They have a pretty tight connection to Detroit

Maybe, but I think there is something to it. Just don't know if I can recall the greats sobbing like this when they got drafted. While I get that it's a huge achievement to make it to the NBA, becoming and All-Star and winning championships is a completely different thing. I just don't get that vibe from Ivey.
I'm just glad we have a mature, well spoken, 22 year old man who can live in the moment and not break down. Ivey is still a boy at age 19 which OK but he was overly emotional, fragile to the point of absurdity, imo. He'll outgrow it soon enough but what put on display before the world would have thoroughly embarrassed me if saw Keegan lose it like that.
Honestly I thought that was a weird answer to the question, but maybe he heard it as what drives you.
But also it was kind of a weird question, "why do you love basketball". "Actually I wanted to be a plumber but I noticed I was kind of tall so I thought I'd give it a try and I was pretty good at it so this guy said I could go to his school".

I actually remember seeing Middleton play at Texas A&M, strangely enough his 3pt shot looked great on makes but his percentages were really weak Freshman and his final Junior Year, which hurt his stock and dropped him to the 2nd round and even might have kept him in college for 1 more year than he had liked.
Keegan was decidedly a WAY better college player, way ahead of where he was at across the board...

Little more clarification why Keegan Murray picked #13 with Kings.
