MrBean 122 Posted November 16, 2018 ESPN should give him an SG eligibility then. This team will be a disaster once IT and Barton comes back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papocrain 56 Posted November 16, 2018 Murray isn't a point guard. He's more of a shooting guard. Malone may just want to see who's the better guard to run with the starters I guess. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HispasianTuna 192 Posted November 16, 2018 Morris in 11 minutes so far: 0/1 shooting, 1 assist and 1 foul. You’re a genius Malone!!! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kamura 376 Posted November 16, 2018 Wow gets benched and learns to shoot 3s again. Malone is a genius in disguise. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellejamil 682 Posted November 16, 2018 Murray needs a full-time PG so he can focus on shooting off-ball. What if they use a 3-guard line up of Morris-Murray-Harris with Garris at the 3? Millsap slides over to 4. Are they going to be too small? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotSauce24 308 Posted November 16, 2018 Thank god I traded him. Always felt he was overhyped despite his one off games. Klay-lite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GriffeySwag 1,089 Posted November 16, 2018 So apparently he was benched for disciplinary reasons and this isn't a permanent thing. Everyone take a deep breath now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GriffeySwag 1,089 Posted November 16, 2018 Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind 5m5 minutes ago More A “small violation of team rules” was why Jamal Murray came off the bench tonight, per Michael Malone. Monte Morris started tonight but Murray will return to the starting lineup against New Orleans. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind if jamal Murray is able to bring similar number with higher efficiency but I highly doubt it. Nothing wrong with him because he is playing JJ Reddick's role in Philly. Actually I don't mind him playing the sixth man role where he can shoot at will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gile Pile 830 Posted November 16, 2018 Why did you draft Murray? Starter or not, he keeps producing in categories he was drafted: PTS, 3pm, %s, stls with some blocks and assists. He is not your typical PG. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only stats that are down compared to last year are: FG% (44.2% vs 45.1%) and 3PM (1.4 vs 2). Blocks, steals and TO are the same as last year, every other category is better than last year (reb, FT%, ast, pts). I don't think he is undeperforming, he is basically the same player he was last year. What numbers do you expect from him, so he can start performing?

Do you know what his current rank is compared to his adp and especially his pre season hype? He is also playing more mins this year. A full 2 mins per game more yet he hasn't improved much. He was drafted for his 3s and scoring and thus far he is disappointing given his top 40 projections. No one drafted him thinking he'll do the same as last year.

I do, ranked 79 in 9-cat on BBM. Last year he was 60 for the season. But I do not judge player based on rankings (each site has its own methodology, there is no exact science), I do judge players based on numbers they produce. Based on last year stats he was 5th round player. And that is exactly where I was targeting him. I got him in only one league at 59th, so he is doing just fine for me this year. I prefer to let others reach for the players based on preseason hype. I like boring players, like Ingles and P.J. Tucker 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going into this season, he was expected to be in the top 40-50 by most. Just because you got him 59th doesn't mean this isn't true. Your anecdote doesn't disprove the fact that his projections were higher. His numbers also are not up to par and imo, they will continue to be or even slide with Barton back. This is troubling for a player who was expected to make a leap this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROTY 751 Posted November 18, 2018 Frustrating but give him time to get rolling into the season. In his short career he's been a slow starter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
