    I keep imagining a Kyle Kuzma type of player. Does Kris compare to him?

    That's a great comp. I don't think he has the first step but size and skill wise similar. Only Kris is lefty

    I was thinking (after adding some bulk) Boris Diaw.

    You think Murray is a point guard?

    I think a decent comparison is Keegan Murray

    or a non twin comparison Dorian Finney-Smith

    A guy I know that evaluates players said that to me

    I don't watch enough Dallas and Brooklyn. . Is that comparison something to be excited about?

    If he is anything close to his twin in Sacto, a steal at 23

    Just post Keegan Murray highlights and hope that it’s Kris Murray’s upside and I’m feeling great.

    From someone who does this for a living

    Keegan is a better athlete. Attacks the rim a bit better

    Kris is a better playmaker. Moves without the ball better. Better catch and shoot 3 guy

    I would think Kris will be part of a trade in the near future.

    I mean we have Watford & Jabari already at the 4 & it wouldn't surprise me if we keep Winslow on a min deal.
    If we can acquire a vet 3/5 by adding Murray along with Nurk and or Simons?

    I don't think we'll do that or we would have just traded the 23 pick....Joe said he got a lot of calls for the 23 pick but they wanted Murray here. He fills a need and could actually start at PF for us. Watford or Winslow won't play ahead of him.

    Possible. I just dont see Grant not starting bat 4 with Watford as bu. Its going go take Kris a couple years to earn that spot imo. We'll see.

    Murray is and will be better than both Watford and Walker
