I thought you were implying Murray wasn’t a PG, sorry

quote:

Yal keep overvaluing Murray based off his potential or small sample sizes. Yes he's talented. Yes he's still young. Doesn't mean he's a sure lock to become this top 5 guard yal wanna keep pushing


Oh like people thought he was a bust last year bc of a small sample size? I should bump that thread, v good stuff

The guy keeps getting better. If he fails please come here and let us know

You guys are crazy. I don't see either guy as untouchable at any point in their careers. I see Murray as a very good but not elite player. Basically a valuable trade asset to land a big time player. Considering we did just that with Hield, I'm not really understanding why people are so inclined to argue about these guys to this day.

Not a single reasonable person would say at this current moment Murray is better than McCollum.

I don't even think Denver nugget fans would.


You are out of touch, my man

It’s been a divisive topic since before the draft between the two guys

I just think it’s funny these dudes are gonna go down on that Jamal Murray ship even after he’s been balling

watched enough of Murray to think he is better than jrue in spurts, but he's not close to rondo. Which is what I think this team at its best needs.

At its best meaning less boogie passing


Rondo has a higher TOV% than Cousins

Rondo is clearly a better passer/creator and he gets his assists, but the offense was very good with him on or off. I'm not sold on him being all that vital one way or the other

To me, they don't have the one PG who deserves to pound the ball. Rather they need multiple guys who can do damage out of the PnR, can spot up, and can keep the ball + themselves moving.

He's got 2 years in the league. We have plenty of data to make some educated guesses. We were projecting Davis, Towns, Wiggins, etc etc etc out at this point.

He is far superior now to Hield and that gap will continue to grow. He's got a great chance to be better than McCollum too. We'll see what happens, but, barring injury, he is going to be a very good, multi-skilled guard in the league for a long time

I would still rather have buddy and first rounder than boogie.

Boogie is not under contract for next season.

Buddy and the unknown pick are under contract next year.

Boogie is way too injury prone for a max deal. I like mirotic.
