A dead/broken clock is right twice a day.
Yeah keep making those posts about Murray pal, if it makes ya feel better about staukas or your dislike of Booker
First off, I was just giving you a hard time, just a little jab considering the back-and-forth we've had on some things, but I can see why it was received aggressively. That's on me.
Secondly, has Murray not been impressive so far this season? After wildly starting the season 0-16 from the floor through his first four games, he's been nothing short of productive. In the next 17 games, he's averaged 12.3 PPG, 2.9 RPG, and 1.9 APG while playing 23 MPG and shooting 42.9% from the field, 42.2% from three on almost five 3PA per game, and 84.8% at the line. Most teams would take that from a veteran rotation player let alone a 19-year old rookie.
Stauskas hasn't been great, but he's been a solid player this year. Previous to his last four games in which he's gone cold, he was shooting 51.2% from the field and 45.1% from deep on just under four attempts per game. He has a spot in this league. I don't feel all that bad about him and he just turned 23. Perhaps he has more to show.
Booker? Are we talking about Devin Booker? We can perhaps give me a hard time about Porzingis, and that would be justified to a certain extent considering the footage -- or lack thereof -- that the common fan had to go off of, but Booker was No. 10 overall on my Big Board. He was drafted No. 13 overall. I'm okay with that, though I will say as a separate thought that he's been a little overrated to this point, but nothing too crazy. I remember some of Basketball Twitter that thought he deserved to win a Rookie of the Month award over Towns late in the season, which was just absurd.
