The Lesson Keegan Murray And Brandon Miller Taught Us About The Draft

[@km13watch]

You should be thinking about Keegan Murray everyday.

[@jonestraloma]

Lord knows I do. Since 2022, not a day goes by where I don’t think,”Gotdang that Keegan Murray sure is swell.”

[@SamRieper]

Keegan murray

[@SmilesPerGallon-]

I usually think about him once in the morning, over lunchtime and then over a reflection period after dinner.

[@BrindleCoatSports]

Keegan is designated as the Kings defensive stopper in close games coming down the stretch.

[@petecarter6520]

Hence the OG rumours

[@stretchpunchbeef8982]

​@@petecarter6520 Keegan is more than competent enough as the primary defender

[@petecarter6520]

@@stretchpunchbeef8982 i like keegan as well, if i ran the kings i wouldnt want to trade him, but i also wouldnt have traded for sabonis as hes too old. But the kings did and are winning, but you dont win in the playoffs with 2nd or 3rd year players in key roles like wing defending.

[@stretchpunchbeef8982]

@@petecarter6520 Sabonis is only 27... wtf are you talking about?

[@furiouswolf777voodoo4]

72 points last 2 games total...yeah we good 😮

[@Weather_Nerd]

Yeah definitely not as much on Kings, most of us fans were happy picking Keegan

[@Weather_Nerd]

I am a fan of Ivey, but I also have been saying since season 2 that Fox would be a star and I thought picking Ivey would be like taking a rookie Fox, again. With zero guarantee he would even reach Fox’s talent two years ago (he is a legit superstar now so chances are even less lol but it totally could happen)

[@slyhooper7694]

I personally knew some here in Sac who wanted Ivey but warmed up to Murray and then loved him by the time his debut at The California Classic Summer League happened. But yeah get Ivey away from Monty Williams lol.

[@carmichaelking3338]

@@slyhooper7694 I had ivey pretty low on my big board, was so happy we took Murray. Wanted Murray or to trade back for Mathurin

[@WidgetWagyu47292]

@@slyhooper7694yea Ivey is actually starting to blossom in Detroit good for him. I wanted Ivey during the draft but I’m happy we drafted Keegzz.

[@slyhooper7694]

@@WidgetWagyu47292 yeah a lot can change in a month. Like when ownership has to remind Monty that Ivey is on the roster hahahaha. But yeah, its still a bright future for those two imo

[@dremoneyog3888]

I thought I was the only one high on Brandon miller cuz I said his game would translate better then scoots and I guess I was right cuz scoot is undersized pg wit no jumper and was turnover prone not a hornets fan either but calling someone a bust before playing a game is a crazy

[@MarDuBronx]

That’s right they were both criticized for being picked so early. Damn I’m glad they’re hooping. I always found that shit weird.

You know your stuff fam! Go Kings 👑🟣⚫️

[@florence843]

I never got this “Keegan has a low ceiling” line of thought. I never saw actual evidence of this. It was just an assumption.

[@reidb6327]

It’s because he was an older rookie

[@florence843]

I don’t mean to pick on you specifically, reidb, but “older rookie automatically has a low ceiling” is still an assumption. And Keegan seems to have blown away the ceiling with, for example, improved defense, which the “low ceiling” talkers never seemed to see coming.

[@AfricanThinker86]

Brandon Miller was mocked low more by fans than by draft experts. Jay Bilas, for example, had him as a top 2 pick over scoot, and not just because he was Charlotte's guy. Scoot was the Internet favorite. I still think Scoot can be great though.

[@LivinProoof]

Interesting video man.

[@slyhooper7694]

Thank you!

[@bobbyohalterego4102]

Yup. Change draft evaluations back to how were. 90% of the all-time greats that went into the draft was upperclassmen. And how is there no upside for a 22 year old kid anyway. I never understood that thinking

[@killgronia5815]

Keegan just dropouts 47🔥🔥🔥 only upside.

[@AsiaAziatics]

Keegan is literally a young Klay Thompson with size

[@TheBestCASE]

Great video, it's nice to see more attention brought to Sac, especially our boy Keegs, he's the future with Foxy. It's not just about guard vs wing, it's also the difference in "drafting the best player no matter what, cause can trade him" and drafting for FIT. Hornets have Lamelo, Kings have Foxy and A LOT of 2 guards as well. Hell we just sent Haliburton away, arguably a generational level guy, for Sabonis because FIT... we had a backcourt log jam, and needed a great center... win-win. Why would we just bring on another guard again after that, when we need size and wings, Keegan was so disrespected that draft class and kinda still is to some degree, when his rookie year he broke the 3 point record and this year already he's become an incredible defensive player and two way beast and in one game broke 3 Kings franchise records, some by some of greater players in it's history AND some NBA records as well while coming close to breaking the 3s in a game one, his name is up there with Steph and Klay. Like Keegan is amazing on offense and now defense and it's only his 2nd year in the league.

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

Smaller players need to be more athletic and more skilled than bigger players, Scoot just wasn't neither an elite athlete nor had elite skills which is what was missed.

[@jays8664]

Scoot Henderson garbage can’t shoot and a horrible playmaker missing wide open jumper. He over hyped he doesn’t make a difference sitting on the bench and when he in the game you don’t even notice he even in the game.
