    Wow I haven't been impressed but didn't realize it was that bad.

    For a 23 year old rookie who has limited upside and was supposed to be an immediate contributor this is beyond concerning.

    Seems like we've hit well on other moves, lotto picks, Dame trade, Camara looks great. But that Murray pick is looking about as bad as could be after a few months.

    The thing is he looks to me like a guy that might all the sudden start making those shots. He is getting to the right spot. He is shooting with good form. The shots are hitting the rim and just missing not way off. His defense is there. he isn't getting caught way out of position. Looks to me like a guy that could just as easily go 5 of 6 from three in any game.

    Brandon Miller is also shooting 7% from 3 during preseason. He a bust too?

    Murray is going to be one of those guys, especially early, where if the 3 ball is going in he’s going to look amazing and if it isn’t he’s going to seem like a wasted pick and we’ll miss Josh Hart back at the dinner table passing the rolls.

    I wasn’t a huge Murray guy when we drafted him but he’s a rookie. Let’s give him a second eh?

    Eubanks looked great in that game against the Lakers. I am really glad for him, he has made himself a real valuable role player in the NBA. Easy to cheer for that guy.

    Murray looks good around the hoop too, putting the ball in and getting rebounds.

    I knew Zach would be fine. I thought it was a HUGE mistake when we dumped him.

    He went 1-13 for 3 in the preseason.
    Shot 4 FTs in 4 games.
    23 rebounds and 5 steals in 4 games.

    I'm sure he'll improve (maybe even soonish), but right now he's beyond mediocre.

    I think Miller and Murray will be fine. However, more patience will be required, then we initially thought.
