Can someone explain to me how in the Hell, you have a Trey Murphy and can't get him some open looks. This is ridiculous, Murphy might be the best shooter in the game, not name Curry and why isn't Hawking getting some minutes. This kid is one of the best shooters in the league and Willie is not playing him.
We should be leading the Western Conference, blowing double digit leads are becoming the norm, too much talent is being wasted. I hope Willie can right the ship, but I have my doubts.

Maybe Willie just doesn't like him.

We're one of the few teams in the league that don't scheme to get our really elite shooter looks. Everything has to go through Zion/BI. If they don't generate looks, Murphy isn't going to get the shot opportunities he needs.

Defenses know he is the best shooter and a sniper. Therefore, there's a strong emphasis to mark h8m when he's on the court.

Trey isn't a good on ball guy. He's average at best at creating his own looks off the dribble. I am referring to pure iso plays and not drives off the catch from a kick out.

As good of a shooter as Trey is, he doesn't have as strong of a off-ball movement shooter profile as Hawkins.

He's an elite catch and shoot guy that is taking steps to improving his offense in other areas.
