Keegan Murray is now shooting 41.5% on 5.9 3PA/G. He’s on pace to become the first rookie in NBA history to shoot 40+ percent on 5.5+ 3PA/G for a season. #SacramentoProud pic.twitter.com/2VuyfX1wIv

He still needs help from his coach though. He needs a bit more of the offense. Unless he wants to go 10-12 every night. haha.

Nailed it perfectly. That's your COTY, folks.

Bogi sucked at rebounding. Why the 3 guard line up with him at the 3 never worked.

coach is doing all he can for him. constantly telling him about his mistakes, starting him and playing him 30+ minutes on the regular

No doubt and as I brought it up in the other thread, I think there is a plan. Brown has ever so slowly been incorporating more of Keegans comfort sets into the playbook.

Keegan Murray is a historic shooter for a rookie. 5-7 from 3 tonight puts him at 41.5% on the season on high volume (5.9 3PA). How many 6-8 dudes are hitting movement shots like this? pic.twitter.com/Y5aftlEjwS

this is a pretty big quote here. That assertiveness on the boards might translate to the rest of his game. It’s the main thing that has held him back a bit

this is necessary because you don't want Fox taking 20+ shots on low efficiency and getting gassed by the end of the game. All starters should have somewhere between 12-15 FGA to spread the wealth and they are all capable. Even Monk has helped the Kings win some games.

Gonna guess the percentage is better for Keegan.

You aint lying. His level of aggression was much higher tonight, as was his confidence. Dude just looked more confident. And when you have a stroke like that from range, more confidence is a bad thing for your opponent
I mean if we're actually going to answer this, it's KD, Jayson Tatum,Paul George and funnily enough probably HB. That's how rare his shooting is at his size.
edit: MPJ too
He was an ideal pick for what Kings are trying to achieve this season.And lately he has been arguably the best rookie in the league, at least in terms of impact

Oh we are going to be SCARY lmao whoa
Kings are on a 6 game winning streak and their early season 6th man of the year candidate has been mostly brutal during this stretch.Team has potential for sure

Man, while I, by the slimmest of margins, wanted Jaden instead of Keegan on draft night, I am, not by the slimmest of margins, glad we drafted Keegan. Not sure if Jaden would have been as effective on both sides of the ball as Keegan has been for us.

There’s no way Ivey would have fit in w/ Fox. He is a high-usage player that would have disrupted this offense. For sure, Keegan was the right pick even if Ivey makes more All Star appearances down the road.
