King Keegan

[Warhawk]

Bitter & slimy. Thats the vibe he’s been giving off.

In my experience, that's what he is. <shrug>

If Murray does break the record for most 3pt shots made by a rookie, I would just like to point out that Mitchell shot 34% to set the record whereas Murray will likely shoot over 40% to set the record.

If only Keegan didn’t have such a low ceiling, I’d be more excited about him being an outstanding rookie in the League.

At least he's doing the bare minimum.

True. As an ancient old man at age 22, he's just never going to get any better or learn the NBA game.

He hates Monte and it’s not even remotely hidden.

Keegan no longer has the wrap on his hand.
Not sure if he had it off against Dallas but he talked about how it has healed in his interview today

Keegan hasn't made excuses, but clearly the wrap was affecting him, especially early on. I wouldn't be surprised if we see an uptick in his play/numbers down the stretch.

Domas going through the broken thumb for like 2 months now too and he had a bout of illness in the stretch of that. Getting him and Keegan 100% might be just as good as adding a rotation piece at the deadline.

Keegan doesn't want his brother in Sactown?

(Is this how you do clickbait? )

 

[mrlaze]

Needs more "you wont believe what rookie keegan murray said!!!" and a red circle somewhere on the thimbnail.

Yeah but is he a good defender who can finish at the rim?

So basically the most made 3s on the least amount of shots. Low ceiling, high floor, middle manager type of pick.

Bare minimum.

What's absurd is his best 2 NBA qualities (shooting, perimeter defense) were essentially his 2 biggest question marks coming in. And honestly, he's done very little of what actually got him drafted as a #4 pick.

It's ova once he starts to integrate his college game with the off ball shooting and perimeter defense

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Bare minimum.

As in the bare minimum amount of shots taken to own this record.

Iowa got absolutely dismantled and Kris had his worst game of the year. They shoulda had Keegan swap in for him at halftime.

I really didn't think about this but it's a great great point along with Huerter now finding his shot and contributing a lot more lately. Let's get Monk back and get a winning groove going

In the last part of this he mentions hearing Keegan’s name at the trade deadline. I wonder if he is working with real info or just a talking head that doesn’t know anything.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

"Kings would have to throw in Keegan Murray and 3 FRPs to acquire <X fringe star player>" were the only grumblings I heard.

Sounds like the typical "some people say" lead when we're about to receive media propaganda.

Yeah if Keegan is in a deal, it will be for a legit all star level talent. Even as the role player he is now. The hope is that Keegan now that he's been prompted to move up to his abilities other teams will be having to throw in those picks in a year or so.

Keegan was a 3 level scorer in college. The question mark was whether his 3 point shooting would translate. I expect Keegan to unleash more of his low post and mid-range game in the next 2 years. I expect him to eventually be a 18-22 point per game scorer in 2-3 years.

Possibly. He's going to have to learn tobe crafty to get open for those mid-range shots.

Yep, that’s definitely Keegan’s twin.

he could probably get them right now with a simple pump fake but at the rate he hits threes it might not make sense. he just needs to increase his aggression overall and work on the bag this off-season

The current topic about Keegan reminds me of what Fox briefly mentioned in a recent interview. I think even the FO and players are aware that for this team to have long-term and future success, we need Keegan to play a big part of it.

Just in case anyone missed it, Fox was asked by a reporter about Sasha Vezenkov because our assistance coach went over to Greece to watch Sasha play during the All-Star weekend. The reporter asked Fox if he knew Sasha and Fox responded with, "you know I've actually looked at film of him, and it's funny because I tell Keegan this a lot, and I'm like, Keegan if we want to win a championship at some point, you know either you're going to be one of those guys, or we're going to find one of those guys because at the end of the day I think.. it's an extremely wing-based league where most of the time the better teams have one of the better wings in the league. Being able to see someone like him (Sasha) play and what he's done in the Euroleague is crazy... you can never have a team that's too deep... I think he would be a great fit..."
