Here’s my take on this: Dejountae Murray talks about Paolo needing to humbled but this is the same dude that was using the basketball to hit a defenders head at the Jamal Crawford Pro AM 🤣 And I think Paolo *might’ve* had a chance to win IF the time wasn’t running during free throws. If he has to get doubled and fouled every time he attacks, not much he can do. Overall he was composed and has a higher ceiling in my opinion. Love the competition between the two but not at the event in the hometown it’s supposed to be a fun game for the community.

[@tacomakix]

This was my exact take when I spoke with Paolo last night after the game. Truly an ironic statement by DM. Complete and utter disrespect from DM and it was a made up drama by him. It’s truly wack and shows DM has character issues. He talks about Paolo needing to be humbled. Not once did DM stay after to talk to the kids, take pictures or sign autographs. The past 3 days Paolo played publicly in the area ( last 2 days and last weekend with Chet ) he spent so much time with the kids, signing autographs, taking pictures, giving away sneakers. DM clearly has some character issues to call out a 19 year old about shit.

The fact that Murray had to go so hard against that 19 year old rookie who has yet to play a game in the NBA shows that he knows Paolo is coming to do something next level. Murray is a talented player but Paolo is a generational talent 6'10" 250 moves like a guard with a jumper and strength like a power forward? everyone can see it. They targeted him and he didn't flinch, still Son'd them dudes. Double team, triple team, and they still couldn't stop him. Block after block. Murray also had a much better team, although number "0" on Paolo's team was cooking them too. Easy to make this kind of noise out here. Wait til Paolo gets in rhythm in the league, talk then. Classic bully . Notice every time Paolo D'd him up close one-on-one, he couldn't score. Quit playin' lets wait to see Paolo play in the league for at least 1 season.

Love the IQ of Banchero, he didn't attempt to show off and most important he didn't injure himself which is the main goal, just staying active. With his size he's going to be a dominate player in the NBA. Very obvious other players are jealous that he went number 1 in the draft and Dejounte Murray went 29th.

Paolo’s little Duke Army is in full swing on this thread, Paolo’s literally on one of the worst teams in the league, hasn’t made them better, while DJ’s literally a 29th pick who developed into an AS. You tell me who’s got the mental toughness-Paolo’s been silver-spooned everything since day 1 & it’s debatable if he’s even the best rookie in his class.
