He is a good pick for you guys, never let anyone say he wasn't the right selection.

I hope he works out for you all and wish him the best. For my Detroit, we all happy. All the best after the league stole your only NBA Title just like they stole our threepeat with the phantom "I'm 12 inches away from Kareem" foul. People would look at the franchise differently if the league had not done that.

Ivey and Mathurin were my first and second selections for us but I'm pretty happy with the Keegan fit.

He definitely is a very good fit with our current team. Just wish we got some more assets someway in this draft whether it was to trade up or to trade down. But its hard to complain about this pick. Wish he was able to create his shot more but with Fox and Sabonis that helps him.

Do you think Keegan plays summer league?

Absolutely. Don't see any reason why he wouldn't.

Yeah rookies typically always play summer league unless they're dealing with an injury.

I figured. I clicked on current roster and he was not on there. Neither was Davion Mitchell. I was not sure on Mitchell. I think he might. Will be nice to watch them play together

I don't believe Keegan's officially signed a contract yet that's probably why he isn't listed.

I thought about that after I asked. Excited to see how he does

To me, the pick for Murray was a good one for Sactown. They get a two way player who is dependable on both ends of the floor. He should be a solid fit for the Kings.

Plus Jaden Ivey indicated that he didn't wanted to be drafted by the Kings. Thus the Kings avoided a Steve Francis situation and drafted the player they wanted on the roster.

The amount of Detroit Pistons fans on Twitter trashing Keegan Murray is insane. You don't need to tear down Murray for Ivey to succeed.

As a pistons fan I know both of these players will be great I don’t know what the beef is about

It was because the Kings media person stuffed up and didn't have Keegan in the right spot and simply didn't know where to go. That would have been why they left.

He had a tough one today but kids shouldn't be playing back to backs in SL after being off for so long and not playing them in school

Imagine how grateful Keegan is, considering three years ago, he graduated high school with a grand total of ONE college scholarship offers, to Western Illinois. Unlike so many privilege players who grew up being told they were going to be a star in the NBA, there was no way this kid assumed he’d be in the NBA now. Heck, at the time, maybe even making a roster for Division 1 NCAA Basketball seemed like an impossible dream.

He must be shocked where he is! It’s a great story about hard work and never giving up. “Rudy”-like. Maybe a Disney will make a movie, when he becomes a star.

Been 3 SL games and I've seen the bag from Keegan, going to be a good player for a long time. Right pick
