Ozymandias
All-Star
I remember when Lakers fans were completely smitten with Lonzo Ball and didnt even want to consider Jayson Tatum for their pick..No he won't and shouldnt until he earns the minutes. Very few rookies can come in and understand the defensive schemes and deal with the speed of the nba.
I was telling Lakers fans back then "just take tatum and put him at SG between Ingram and Russell" and people thought it was crazy nonsense. Gotta say returning to this forum for one day today I'm getting similar vibes. (Except theres far more people who see the light with Murray). Funny enough I read something a few weeks back saying that Lonzo over Tatum pick was a painful memory for Lakers decision makers.
Who do the Kings have thats so good they can keep Keegan Murray out of the starting lineup?
The Warriors just won the championship with Andrew Wiggins as the tallest member of their starting lineup..
Fox-DiVicenzo-Murray-Barnes-Sabonis seems like a legit lineup to me..
Ill never get over looking at who shot the 3's last season post-trade, and how poorly they performed, and not thinking those 3PA's would be much much better off in the hands of Murray..
He's smooth n prepared, and has good feet n often gets into the right place at the right time. Hes got devastating fakes and jab steps step-back's turn around 3's, hes a natural at cutting and he can defend guards and forwards, hes got an excellent demeanor on and off the court calm and cool but a tireless worker. If hes the pick he deserves plenty of reps right away this team is not good enough to warrant coddling him IMO.
