    I know we have skeptics here on this but here is an in depth video supporting your contention, with some eye popping stats on how well he is doing compared to "elite" players per cent wise scoring at the rim and in the mid range to go with entirely acceptable 3 point %, which BTW is often getting knocked down by HIM being the guy that takes those quarter ending long range (yet higher quality than most) prayers to beat the clock.

    Confidence in that shot is sky high. No hesitation at all.


    Big point JJ sold Jeanie and Rob on was unlocking Austin. Job well done.

    Ham, you're a bum

    His legs can go easily. One reason they didn't want to handle the ball all the time last year was that he got fatigued out.

    Seen it throughout his career so far.

    He's a baller though those assists to Knecht were nice

    now that knecht looks like he'll end up as the starting sf before too long, not getting murray stings a bit more. he'd be a great fit next to reaves and knecht.

    Except Murray would have = no AR and no picks here any longer. Maybe lightning strikes a 3rd time following AR and Dalton with Quincy being somewhat that guy lite, if he can defend and like Dalton doesn't forget how to shoot in the Big Leagues.

    yeah, i meant that we got outbid. murray without reaves doesn't make much sense.

    i obviously hope olivari can be that guy, but asking for that kind of hit and for him to be good enough soon enough is tough. but maybe those three can be joined by a big name player who can play the 4 or 5 in the future (depending on how long the lebron/AD duo goes).

    he's a better point guard at this point, at least in terms of passing and making plays than Russell and its not even close.

    He who? Murray? They didn't want DLO plus others not named Reaves PLUS picks. Or you talking about Olivari .... which is way pre-mature.

    Murray is an awesome fit with Reaves, I'm too much in love with that and understood yesterday I still haven't got over it, after seeing Bron and Dejounte talking after the game. And yeah, with Knecht would be even more awesome.

    Admittedly, Dyson Daniels has been amazing. Was wrong on him, he has more steals in the last 5 games than all players for the season, he's balling out and brings sense to that trade, which we couldn't outbid. Makes it easier to accept it. Max is way behind at this point.

    I think Dejounte is and will be better than Reaves in their careers but it's not a landslide that justifies 2 additional (and juicy) FRPs.

    I really wanted Murray too, but in no way if Austin would be going out. I wanted them to be our backcourt of the future.

    Shame he had such a poor shooting game Saturday. Even with the ups and downs his averages are looking very good. Hope he can keep his legs under him all season.

    i've tried to tell people that murray is overrated for a long time, but i think they only watch him when he plays us.

    I don’t like these shooting slumps, he needs to pay attention to details especially his poor (for him) FT shooting at this point
