2016 NBA Draft Prospects: Breaking Down Pro Future of UW’s Dejounte Murray

June 20th, 2016 by C.J. Moore Leave a reply »

Dejounte Murray is an example of why "this is a weak draft" has been the narrative for the last year.

He appears a couple of years away from being a factor in an NBA lineup, yet also got one of 16 invites to the green room, according to Jonathan Givony at The Vertical.



The Washington freshman combo guard is an upside pick who will require patience and the right mix of skill development and coaching to turn him into a quality player at the professional level. He has measurables (6'4 ½" with a 6'9 ½" wingspan) and skills that make him intriguing, but he lacks a proven jumper and plays like a college freshman who needs to clean up a lot of things with his game. 

 

Relevant stats

Murray filled up the stat sheet, and he's a bucket-getter. The problem is his inefficiency.

Also worth noting is that Murray's numbers are slightly inflated by Washington's style of play. The Huskies averaged the second-most possessions in college basketball, per KenPom.com, and Murray played a lot of minutes (33.5 per game).
