They aren't bullying Murray. Different story for his backcourt mate.
A bad playoff series doesn’t dramatically change who he is, but you been a hater.
Name me 3 better offensive players in the east.
Giannis is fine.
KD and Embiid is a no for me. Trae can score like them and is a vastly better passer.
Who said he wasn't?Dejounte is a good defensive player.
This is crazy, Trae is not better than these two MVP level players and I'm a big fan of Trae too.KD and Embiid is a no for me. Trae can score like them and is a vastly better passer.
I never said being tall made you a good defender. Don't muddy the waters with a wack Duncan Robinson example.1. Being tall doesn't make you a good defender. If so, Duncan Robinson wouldn't be the richest player not in a rotation right now. Nobody would ever take Huerter or Bogdon over Murray on defense under any circumstances.
2. He's 6'4 with a 6'10 wingspan. The #1 reason why he's been a plus defender for the majority of his career.Who are these big strong 2 guards terrorizing the league that Murray has to guard now?
3. Dejounte Murray is absolutely defensive minded.
So, y’all laughed and told me luka wasn’t on Durants or embiids tier last season…
And now I’m reading this about trae
Wut in the
Plenty of 6 foot guards with career scoring averages of 25/9?Skills relative to size.
There's been plenty of 6 foot guards who do/did what Trae does.
You can count the KD & Embiid 'types' on one hand.
I like Trey but his 3pt shooting is too inconsistent. For the year he shot 38% which is good but the years prior was in the low 30%. They need to figure out how to get him some easier shots.
I never said being tall made you a good defender. Don't muddy the waters with a wack Duncan Robinson example.
Dejounte Murray isn't defensive minded as in Patrick Beverly, Tony Allen "defensive minded."
Nor should he be. He needs to take some of the offensive load off of trae young.
I don't really need to list a league full of 2 guards...
The hawks are trying to improve in the east and have given up a good amount of trade assets to do so by acquiring Murray (which I don't disagree with at all)
With that being said, the 2s like jaylen brown, if harden can get his game back and Middleton who's kind of a SG/SF come to mind. All big strong guys that play good mins at SG and are on contenders. (Which the hawks want to be)
For the hawks to contend in the east, it will be because they're on par with Boston, Philly, Milwaukee etc.
This is without mentioning the big strong guards like jrue holiday and Marcus Smart etc.
So yes, of course Murray is a better defender than huerter and Bogdan. I would never argue that... Nor did I ever say it.
My point is that when you have a skinny starting back court where neither player is taller than 6'4" you will have upside, and limitations.
Just imo.
