Which metrics would those be?
Then you have a distorted sense of what "average" is.
Payton Pritchard is not playing "well above average." He's also not a wing, he's an undersized SG.
In 2026-27 Keegan Murray will be paid roughly 80 percent of what Derrick White gets paid; I guess that's "nearly Derrick White level money," in the same sense that a B- is "nearly" an A+. He's currently getting paid roughly 55 percent of what White gets paid so, if that's the standard, he's slightly outperforming his current contract.
The Kings are a 13-win team; everybody's numbers look bad, but I suspect that, if he'd been available to play more games, they'd look a lot better.
Oh, well as long as you guarantee it...
You have google, do your own research. I just posted a couple of basic superficial metrics on Keegan, go look up the same ones for Pritchard. I'm here to talk basketball, not do homework for random people on internet forums. I've never once gone and pulled the numbers and had the other person say "Oh hey, you're right, I didn't realize that". It just winds up with the other person arguing their side while I went and wasted my time pulling numbers for nothing. I don't play that game anymore and what's the point anyway? So I can satisfy some random dude on a forum that is about an unenjoyable as it gets to converse with? Sorry, but that's a no from me dawg.
Keegan has a ways to go to output 80% of what Derrick White is doing. You better hope for a stark improvement next year or else he will quickly be a sunk cost. At minimum he needs to revert back to his first or second year in the league. This year and last year ain't gonna cut it.
