Brown I can at least see the argument that he's young and has the size to become a star if he can fix a few things and mature, so I'm starting to come around to (i.e. rationalize) the idea that he may be the pick.
My preference is still Murray. He has the best mechanics by far and is one of the youngest players in the draft. He's a pure scorer who can shoot off the dribble, coming off screens, off the catch, and is shifty enough to get by people. He also has a great handle and is a good passer (although he wasn't really given the chance to show it at UK). He's also extremely mentally tough and has a knack for hitting big shots.
The knock on Murray is lateral quickness. I can live with that. We have enough other good defenders to help cover for him and we can find others to assist if needed. Ainge and the C's continually err on the side of defense over offense, and I think it's time to try going the other way. I believe Murray can be a decent defender in time and he has a good motor and is a decent rebounder for a guard.
Unfortunately I'm pretty confident we're not taking him so............... dammit.
I re-watched the Draftexpress videos for Dunn and Brown last night to try to talk myself into either of them but it's a struggle. Guess I'll just have to hope a meaningful trade emerges before 7:30!
