This is why I like Murphy at 14 more than any of the guards. No, he is not a super athlete but a knock down shooter who can play 3/4 and switch up/down to 2-4 and maybe 5 (especially vs small ball 5s) really strengthens us off the bench.
Also, all reports is he is really smart (Yale recruit) & high character (chose UVA to transfer vs traditional basketball schools)
I didn't hear much about Murphy early in the draft discussion, but his name is coming up more and more these days. Add him to the list of prospects I would be happy to see don a Dubs jersey.
If wings are so important, why didn't the Dubs take Kispert at #14, a proven marksman who seems NBA ready to me? If Kuminga is a wing, he hasn't displayed that shooting touch that is an all important mark of a 3 and D player. Granted, he has upside, but he is not the kind of player I ever thought the Warriors would choose at #7. It goes against how I see this team developing. Let's hope I'm wrong. Maybe they'll use him in a trade.
