I like Murray a lot as a prospect. His offensive game is really well rounded. I watched him torch the USA team for 30 in one of the tourneys. I know it was scrubs for USA but all NBA players.

He's not an explosive athlete but I think he'll be able to get his in the NBA. He'll probably struggle defensively though. but if your on the Buddy train, don't expect much defense out of him either.

I'd rather Buddy.
I can see Buddy becoming a lesser Dwayne Wade at best.
The best i see from Murray is EG.

That's just my opinion. We'll know more in 5 years.

I don't disagree with you on Buddy but strongly disagree on Murray.

Not sure how much of him you've seen but he is a smooth scorer man. He already has better handles than Gordon and nice repertoire of moves to get around defenders.

I've really only seen him in the game against LSU, and he does look like a good scorer, but he just seems too undersized, a lot like Marcus Thornton due to a small wingspan.
He's not a PG, he's a SG.

I've seen Hield play a handful of times this year.
I like that Hield has a big wingspan, 6'9" and that he's a senior that has gotten better every year in college, and that he has a killer instinct.
I like that Murray has such a good game scoring wise and is a freshman, meaning he's not hit his ceiling, we could assume, where Hield may be closer to his ceiling.

The killer instinct is what i love about Hield. You just can't teach that.

Murray vs FLA

This is the game that really got me seriously thinking about him

I like buddy a bit more right now but JM is making it interesting.

Agreed. If you look into Heild you will find the insane amount of work he puts in on his own time to get better. Yea he may be closer to his ceiling but shows he has serious work ethic which is becoming a rarity these days.

totally agree there but i think Murray has it as well.

I dont think you can go wrong with either. Heild most likely helps immediately but I think Murray has a higher ceiling.

He has a really quick release too, this game showcased a bunch. he had guys closing out on him on most of those 3's
