Hield over Murray?


The team was in Win Now mode for pretty much the whole Demps era. Buddy was considered more NBA ready. Also, Jake Madison mentioned in one of his recent podcasts that in Murray's private workout with the team he got lit up by an assistant coach that played college but not in the NBA. They found him being that bad defensively pretty concerning.

He's still pretty bad defensively.

To be honest, buddy can be a solid starter on a playoff team
It just so happens he was on two horribly ran franchises.

Yup. Told this story recently. A workout (that shouldn't have happened) significantly influenced the pick. LINK
