MBB Travelling to Philly Sunday

[Dave_Glaser]

Very disappointed in what I’ve seen from Murphy so far. With as high as he was ranked, I expected he’d have more skill. He’s athletic and has a good handle, but that’s it at this point. He’s not much of a defender. His shot is super ugly. They’d have to completely rework his mechanics to fix that. I doubt that happens. He’s one leg/ankle injury away from being totally ineffective because he relies solely on his athleticism. We’ve seen guys like him before - Jimmy Baxter comes to mind, although he actually shot it better than Murphy. Time to start recruiting some guys who can consistently dribble, pass and shoot - high hoops IQ guys - even if they can’t dunk.

Durr to play, and Dunn for Temple out - advantage Bulls!

He has really struggled since the shut down - shooting 23% from the field (7 of 30), shooting 0% from 3-point range (0 of 5), 6 turnovers, 5 assists and 2 free throw attempts. In that 3 game stretch he has taken more shots that anyone else on the team - not what you want from your point guard, especially from only shooting 22% and doesn't have range.

Started the game by draining a 3

Collins barely kicked him.

Yetna is such a good interior passer.

[bjef4844]

5 of 6 from 3-point range is the difference so far.

nice shot by Akec

That may be the worst thing for him.
