It's scary that he weighs 250lbs at 19, and doesn't look it. When he gets to his mid 20s, he is likely to weigh around 285. Imagine how tough he will be to handle them.
The issue for him is going to be diversifying his offensive game and learning how to switch out onto the perimeter. (And probably just learning how to be a better defender in general).

Andre Drummond is only a small minutes rotation player now because he never quite figured it out (he’s still somehow just 28 years old!) and teams just sorta learned how to run him off the court with nonstop switches on both ends of the court/he’s allergic to shooting.

it obviously helps that he’ll be running pick and rolls with Cade Cunningham for the first half decade of his career but he’s gonna need to add something else/learn how to hit a jumper to keep defenses from just packing the paint.

Murray was very impressive in this game. He was the catalyst at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, making shots and playing D. I like he didn't defer to the vets.

Successful road trip. More and more this team reminds me of the old Vlade-Webber teams. Christie must be having a ball coaching this team.
 
Eh. Keegan obviously had a better game this time round, but their circumstances couldn't be much more different.

I have a feeling Ivey will be fine - and that we'll remain happy w/the KM selection.
I have a feeling that Murray will prove the Kings to be geniuses for drafting him, and that the Pistons will be looked down upon for drafting Ivey as his performance underwhelms.
