Keegan Murray

 
 

Gonna ignore the bad names on this list and say that Keegan has done something only Ant, Lauri, and Jason Kidd have done before.

Wait. Jason Kidd hit 8 three pointers in a game?
 

Keegan's shooting percentage still being this high despite him forgetting how to shoot for the three games before this one is something.

Brandon Jennings did once score 55 points in his rookie season

None. The kid is good. It's as simple as that.

I'll add that he's lucky to be surrounded by our current roster which is good enough of a group to not have to rely heavily on his contribution night in and night out. If he was a semi-permanent 1st option for us like how some of our rookies had been, his margin of error would've not been as big for him to actually make mistakes and learn without worrying about a fluctuated play time that'd make it harder to get in a groove.

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but feels like a weird take. The fact that the rest of the team is great enough to be in 3rd place in the conference, and this team is the best team we've seen in 17+ seasons (maybe closer to 20) and a rookie can contribute and maintain a starting spot - is not "he's lucky" at all. We're lucky.

Rookies basically always suck their rookie year in regards to actually contributing to winning basketball. The ROY is usually given to the rookie who gets control from day 1 on a bad team. Keegan playing like a superb role player on the 3rd best team in the West and 8th best team in the NBA says a lot about his play and about how he's wired honestly. Doesn't have the #4 pick mentality where he "deserves" shots. He's out there to help the team win.

Brown has said as much where he doesn't have near the same leash as other top rookies to make mistakes because the Kings are good and winning.
