What was Eric Murdock's game like?
Offensively, defensively, etc. when he was in his pre-prime with Utah (as John Stockton's backup), his prime years with the Milwaukee Bucks, and post-prime with Vancouver, Denver, Miami, New Jersey and L.A. Clippers.

Average scorer and playmaker; wouldn't hurt you but didn't really create that much. Very good defender in the passing lanes, solid on man, where he made his money. Decent intangibles from what I remember.

Buck fans are probably the ones to go to here.
As a pretty hardcore Jazz fan I have no idea, he played <500 minutes for us over 30 years ago.

During his career (1991-92 to 1999-00) Murdock had the 3rd highest per minute steal rate (2.8 st/40min) among all players with 3000+ minutes played. Only Nate McMillan (3.4 st/40min) and Alvin Robertson (3.1 st/40min) were higher.
