How about some love for Murray?

Where does Murray Rank among Cal recruits At Kentucky? He is making case for top 3 behind Davis and Towns IMO! Maybe BEST gaurd or at least Cals best off guard at UK.

He's maturing faster than a lot of freshman would.. can't wait to see him come March.

You might want to mix in John Wall and Demarcus Cousins on that list. For starters.

I just worry about him getting tired legs like Booker did. Maybe he already had them and adjusted his shot accordingly. Man he's fun to watch. Another year or two on a BCG like team and he could challenge 54 imo (of course he's OAD).
 
He's playing within the flow of the game now and his efficiency has shot through the roof. Once it clicked that he's playing with probably the best "set-up PG" in college hoops, he realized he could let Tyler do the creating for him. Since then his turnovers have reduced and his efficiency has improved. No doubt one of the best offensive players we've had under Coach Cal.
 
Your bot gonna find too much praise for him on this board. Seems the guys who praised Briscoe prior to Murray coming On board hate him. Also the Willis crowd hates him, oh the Ulis ones as well.
For some reason our fanbase has a specific player they love and one more they hate. Seems Murray is the player of choice of hate by a good majority of the base.
Dude could have 60 points 20 boards, 20 assists, 10 steals, 10 blocks and 0 turnovers and you wouldn't see any congrats from them just silence. Until the next game where he shoots 3/7 from 3 and the gnashing of teeth is all you see. Even though Ulis would be 1/5 and Briscoe 0/7 and Willis 2/5.

Just the way it is. Kid deserves the praise from everyone just like the rest of the players on the team.

I really can't think of a better shooter than Murray. I love the kids game, gives his all every game, there's nothing else to expect from him.
 
Black hole Murray

I don't know how many times I have to say it, but he has been playing much better since the black hole post. He has been better working on moving without the ball and Ulis has been great getting him the ball in scoring position. Less bad things happen when he doesn't have to do much more than get open and shoot the ball. He is basically a full time shooting guard now and not a point guard. That has benefited his game greatly.
 
I love Murray but he isn't even close to the top 5 yet as far as freshman go.

Davis
Wall
Cousins
Towns
MKG

Those are easily the top 5, no specific order after Davis and Wall.
 
Id have to research it but percentage wise with min of an avg of 6 makes per gm the 14 of 20 may be the best back to back three point shooting gms in UK history. 7 of 10 avg in back to back gms? I highly doubt its ever been done before today.

Murray's shooting and Ulis' passing and penetration is becoming more and more deadly esp. with Willis lurking at damn near 40% as well.
 
Cal really has gone a long way in improving Murray's decision-making, and it's going a long way.

Also, lol.

It's been a treat watching him light it up the last couple games (all year, really). Scoring machine. He gets hot in March and we can beat anyone. That being said ... I would prefer to avoid Hield and OU.

But guys, re: the "he reclassified so he should still be in high school" stuff. No, not really. He turns 19 in 2 weeks. He's the right age for a college freshman. He would be a really, really old high school senior.
 
That he should be a senior in high school. I thought he came out early. I'm probably wrong.


Ohh..I don't know why that flew over my head.. that's a good point.. the good ones get it ear lier. . Hope he keeps it up
