Keegan Murray
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
I think they'll put a smaller player on him and force him to take the player inside. Smaller player to crowd him as he comes off screens.
Regardless, offensively, the key is Domas. So far, the ball movement looks promising. They're making a concerted effort to find the corner wing from the high post.
While I agree Domas as the primary facilitator is optimal that also means you're betting on Fox hitting his threes. 5 years in this league and he hasn't been able to do so--until proven otherwise.

Keegan ceiling tops out higher than either Kuz or John Collins based on the obvious eye test.
Based on his redundant and boringly consistent efficiency and production, Murray will top out as a 25-27 ppg scorer. He will boringly, redundantly, and consistently shoot a higher percentage on more volume from 3 than those other 2. And he will do it with the most boring demeanor ever, meaning you don't have to worry about him off the court spitting game at Kardashians (Kuz).
I honestly don't know who to compare Keegan with, maybe take Bernard King and stretch his range out to 24 feet? Bernard was a crafty scorer and something I think Keegan would be from that Era because Keegan is an old soul.
Regardless, I know you think I am jumping the gun, but I have seen enough at this point.
Keegan is going to be great no matter where they put him or when they put him there. He has a great IQ, great poise and confidence, great shot, great awareness, and a great motor. With the potential to be elite in those categories.
That is his ceiling. And I will take that from my 4/3 number 4 pick for the next 15 years and retire him a great ceremony with a ring to hopefully show for it. He has THAT potential.

Which he is quite good at finishing
I can see a whole range of plays where Domas passes and Fox screens and where Fox passes and Domas screens.
I’m sure a staggered screen for Keegan/Huerter with Domas rolling and Barnes flaring to 3 is being worked. Keegan really fits this team like a hand in a glove.
For the first time in a long time I don’t think the team fit is a disaster.

Yes and no. He's shown enough and unless he was going to start the game (and it seems like Okpala will still be the nominal starter with Fox, Huerter, Barnes, and Sabonis) then we weren't going to learn anything new. Not playing avoids any chance of injury and opens up minutes for the guys the team still needs to evaluate.
I'd be surprised if any of the starters play big minutes in the Phoenix game and even less for the final preseason game for the same reason - to keep guys healthy/avoid injury and help decide on final roster moves.

From the games I’ve seen him play, seems to be more of tall Klay Thompson if his defense measure up to it. He has quick release and high basketball IQ and good off ball movement. Klay couldn’t create much for himself either but was excellent defender so will see if Murray will get there in that regards
We have 6 guys competing for 3 spots and most people on this forum are lamenting that we traded excess 2nd round picks, so I do think that evaluating the other players is a key priority if you're considering keeping a vet over a younger guy (which it seems we are).
That said, pretty sure Keegs is sick. Holmes had something, non-covid bugs are still frequently contagious.
