He has back-to-back MVP upside? Sorry, don't see it.

Or did you mean a different Curry? Seth? Michael? Eddy?


Curry is quick and has a great crossover.
I don't see that in Murray.
But I have to admit that Murray is a good shooter and he is very talented offensively. He is a smart player who knows the game of basketball well.
The fact that he is a little slow is the main reason why I don't like him so much.

Curry improved ten fold physically in the pros. NBA training and conditioning has a lot to do with it.

What do we make of Dunn refusing to do any workouts unless he can go against Simmons, Ingram, and Murray? I get it, the only way he moves up is outperforming those guys. But each of those guys, except for Simmons, is willing to workout one on zero. Part of me thinks Dunn knows that his lack of shooting, which would squarely be on display in a one on zero workout, might scare some teams off. Scares me a little.

Could also mean he's got a promise at 4 or 5 and he'll only work out if he has a chance to improve his draft stock.

Well, if he's got a promise, it'd be from us since it was reported that he refused to meet or share medical info with the Celtics and Suns.

or he knows those guys aren't going to do it so it gives him a convenient excuse not to workout either

One knock against Murray that isnt widely talked about is that we will have to listen to even more Toronto Raptors fans annoyingly state that 'their player' is 'coming home' in X number of years.

Not quite sure Murray is worth that annoyance.

It's be pretty ballsy for a new GM team to promise drafting Dunn without even working him out. I don't think that's the case. I wonder if he's trying to hide something.

Guys, this isn't new. A few years ago, there was a player who didn't work out for the teams with the No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6 or No. 7 picks. The team with the No. 7 pick took him anyways.

I want Murray.
Bender would be ok, too.
Hell no to Dunn and Hield.

Dunn won't work out or let doctors look at him... I'd tell his agent to fck off. He should be seeing everyone's doctors and proving he's totally healthy, not hiding out like a broken coward. Doesn't seem like leadership material in any case.

Sure. But that guy wasn't trying to hide anything. He worked out for the #8 team and was trying to force his way to that team. Dunn, I don't think, is trying to force his way anywhere, which leads me to believe he doesn't think he'll shine in workouts against a chair.
