    Hopefully we hear about some other top prospects coming soon—if not, that will be a tell in the worst way.

    his highlights are more substantial than Shaedon Sharpe's.

    Didn't see him on ones I checked, He could still pull out of the draft but I think someone will "promise" him

    Cronin and Asjha Jones sitting front row at Ivey's proday last week.



    Can also spot personnel from Indy and NY.

    Appears AJ Griffin also was there at the same pro-day.

    We really need AJ to move into the top 6......if we want Murray. If he doesn't maybe we consider him. Fans here do not seem to like him but as an SF he has a length (7' wing) is explosive, and is an excellent 3pt shooter. That does not help our PF position but if he is the BPA......

    agreed. dude is not fluid at all and is super mechanical. i can't believe he's still considered a top 10 prospect. shocking contrast going up next to the super explosive Ivey.

    don't think he's BPA at 7 whatsoever.

    theres a lot of chatter about Mathurin going at 5 or 6 too. Multiple avenues for Murray to fall to us at 7.

    What is his weakness? I really don't know much about him. But he is explosive and was shooting over 50% from deep at one point this year (and that was with 50+ attempts) and he was highly rated out of HS. Just not sure why he has been so overlooked on this board. A lot of teams like him.

    poor first step, shaky handle, so called defensive prowess is simply theoretical at this point, can't create for himself, and biggest red flag for me... substantial knee injury history. he is probably my least favorite draftee projected to go in our range. if it were not for the Duke/CAA machine, I don't understand how he gets lottery talk.

    In my continual deep dives into prospects, i like Mathurin a lot more than AJ. Bennedict looks like a modern day JRich to me with tantalizing defensive potential. would not be unhappy if he falls to 7.
