KAT - what the heck???

There are 15 reasons that ANY high school kid who gets an offer from UK should commit on the spot.

Now that's impressive as hell. Would like to see other school's former players opening night stats for comparisons sake. Just for shits and giggles and giggles and shits. Would enjoy a good laugh. Someone hook that up.

Foul Trouble. Also, it's shameful for management to put him in this situation. They pay him max, advertise him as their best player, and allow Thibs and Butler to stay on the team. Dumpster fire.

KAT - what the heck???

Foul trouble. Fouled out in 22 mins.

I thought Murray would be having a better pro career. I don't really follow it, so I don't know anything more than the raw numbers I see. Is he not getting much PT, or has he just not shot well? I don't think he is that fast, so maybe he's having trouble with the speed of the game?

Dayum.

KAT - what the heck???

To add to the other reasons why he had a bad game, he only took 6 shots from the field. For whatever dumb reason they try to avoid using KAT on the offensive end. Thibs is an awful GM and coach.

He is their starting PG and is only 21 years old. He is doing quite alright.

Amazing what Cal has built. When I was growing up in the 90's/early 2,000's I would have killed to have these kinds of guys to brag on in the pros. I always felt it was the one area that allowed people to attack. We just didn't have the NBA guys to match our prestige. And now we do.

LOL for real? I’m guessing you don’t pay much attention to NBA, at least I hope you don’t.

He is their starting PG and he avg 16.5 ppg last year in his 2nd year.

And if your going off raw numbers, there has only been 1 nba game this year for each team.

This is accurate. Good post.

Murray gets a lot of playing time and he starts . The problem is Murray , Gary Harris, Will Barton and now Isaiah Thomas will all have their nights where they go off and then they will have their quiet nights too. Tough to figure out who will be the guy that night .

Murray has been pretty good though . They are high on him

I don't, as I said. I didn't know he averaged 16.5 last year. That's pretty solid.

WCS showing up, just wish he would have showed up for one (or two) more college basketball games.

 

[OldEvilleCat]

They are high on him

Wellll...he does play in Denver.
