Erik Murphy

Post by longstrangetrip [enjin:6600564] »

Zgoda predicts the Wolves will sign the recently released Bull to fill Price's roster spot. Cam is our resident Gator fan, and probably has the best read on what this guy can bring us. Cam, your thoughts. Would you rather have Murphy or Cunningham backing up Love next year? Murphy clearly has more prototypical PF height, but his rebounding numbers at Florida were not very good. Is he a good defensive option? What are his offensive skills?

I'd say Cunningham has a stranglehold on the position.

Erik Murphy either got claimed by the Jazz or they just signed him

Thanks for that update, Volans. Why am I not stunned that Zgoda's twitter account still has Murphy as the Wolves' best option, while a casual fan on this board has real information? Jeez, why do I even look at his twiiter account?

I'm late on this, and Utah already claimed him, but it's not that big of a bummer. Better size than DC and can stretch the floor more than DC, but he's not better on defense nor is he a better rebounder either. Never had a real post game at Florida. Isn't that strong as a PF. Relied on his jumper, free throws and slips to the basket. All things Hummel could probably replicate.

Thanks for that, cam...I kinda thought no big loss.

Sorry about your Gators :( . Nice season all in all though.
