The kid's good. Plays like he belongs on both ends.

I have mix feelings on Murry defense. in the SL he got away with letting his man blow by him and then reaching thst would get him hurt on the real level. He has flashed potential so I would let him and leslie fight it out. It's not about this year with Murry but next year when Beno & Prigs maybe gone.

I fully expect that Woody and the staff would help Murry learn better defensive technique. He is often too aggressive and indiscriminate as to when he puts on pressure. He would learn when to turn up the pressure and how to keep proper spacing so he doesn't get beat off the dribble. The key thing is that he's got great length and quick hands and he's like an octopus when he traps a PG. |

his defense is not the issue. my concern is on offense. can he shoot? can he facilitate?
i think hes more of an athlete at this point instead of a PG or SG Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Well if you watched him play in SL, he wasn't bad for this stage of his transition from SG to PG. He actually looks more like a PG than Shump has ever looked. Murry has some actual good court vision. Of course he needs work, but that's obvious for a kid learning to play PG at this level. Here's a playoff game with Murry at PG. He's #9. Gotta watch for a while to get a sense of his ability since it's a full game video. |

Might as well come in because JR is an idiot who can't be counted on.

From watching video of him and seeing him in SL, it seems to me that Murry needs to use his length and stay back off smaller quicker guards. Learning the proper distance from his man and using his length to his advantage is going to make a huge difference for him at the NBA level.
There's also some footage of Jeremy Tyler in the video above. I think he's worth keeping on the roster and allowing to heal from his foot injury. Both kids have some real potential. Tyler in particular. |

About a month ago, the Miami Heat tempted former Wichita State player Toure Murry with an invitation to training camp. After much debate, Murry stuck with the team that stuck with him. |

They're both rangy defenders and converted point guards with the ability to contribute in a number of areas and score just enough t keep the offense moving. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
