Keegan Murray Will Prove Everyone Wrong

  • Some people were left puzzled by the Keegan Murray pick by the Sacramento Kings in the 2022 NBA Draft, being selected at #4 over Jaden Ivey, who many believed the Kings would take.
    Seeing Keegan Murray drafted over Ivey, while maybe not the pick with the highest upside, still projects to be a very smart pick for the Sacramento Kings. Murray showed a ton of promise at Iowa, and he's also very much NBA-ready from day one.
    I love how Keegan is going to fit alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantis Sabonis, and that core three for the Sacramento Kings could legitimately make a push for the playoffs this season.
    Keegan Murray may not be the superstar upside that teams typically chase after with the 4th pick, but he's definitely not a bad pick by any means.

    I believe that Keegan Murray had one of the four most efficient seasons in the last decade in college basketball. The other three guys on the list are Zion Williamson, Anthony Davis, and Brandon Clarke. I know that college stats don't always translate. But that level of high usage combined with high efficiency, especially from a young player, typically indicates a great prospect.

      Monte couldn’t have picked a better fitting prospect! Keegan is going to be a straight beast in the nba. He’s a modern day forward that is highly skilled, I’m glad we didn’t waste our 1st round pick on “ high ceiling potential” that potential never seems to pan out. Bagley being the most obvious example right. Keegan is nba ready and has high upside like he could be a perennial all-star. GO KINGS!!!

    Keegan might not be flashy, but he’s one of the most composed players to come out of this draft. When the pressure hits, he doesn’t crack. He steps up and take on the big opportunity. If Murray is able to work on his weak spots of his game, in 4-5 years, hopefully still on the Kings, he’ll become an all-around threat. His game not being flashy is what makes him deadly

    People like Hoops Reference, Bleacher Report, Sporting Logistically basically called Sacramento stupid for this choice. Now since Summer League, people been d**k riding this dude when he was actually the RIGHT choice for the Kings anyways...
    The Kings had no choice to take Murray, cause
    1.) Ivey didn't want to be there and
    2.) If they would've drafted another guard, people would be bitching about, why did they draft another guard when they have. Mitchell, Fox and Divincenzo...
    3.) They needed a three/four.
    The only loss to me was that they could've traded back to get Murray and get more assets, creating leverage, but the issue is are teams willing to give up assets? Especially seeing teams giving up all of their ducks in a row for short term gain, and that might be crippling franchises future long term.

      Two different philosophies I guess.

Now with Murray, it seems they went back to team need. I am liking the squad that is coming together

      @@Randsel I really think keegan was the best player available. Ivey has more super star potential but there is absolutely no guarantee he gets there. And there's no way around it... Fox and ivey would not thrive together. That means you have to trade one of them, which you're gambling on thr fact that one or both of them can increase their value throughout the season, which might not happen if they play alongside each other. Would be a huge and really unnecessary risk imo.

    Prophetic. Murray may be the best off ball shooter in NBA Rookie history. He's not moving as much as he could, because Huerter is getting so much of the action moving without the basketball. But Murray is already really similar to Huerter without the basketball.
    In fact, in the three games Huerter just missed, Murray was 5-10, 6-14 and 3-10 from deep, for a combined 14-34 (.411) in three games. His season average is (.407) on 6 attempts. In other words, he doubled his volume but still maintained his plus 40% efficiency.
    Indicating that if Huerter weren't on the team Murray wouldn't be taking 6 longballs a game and making 2.5, he'd be averaging 10+ attemps and be nailing 4 or 5 a game. No wonder he's about to smash the all-time Rookie record for deep splashes.
