Much like another fellow freshmen and this team in general, Murray is very overrated. Outside of an exhibition game and 1-2 regular games he's shot like crap and he's turned into a turnover waiting to happen. At this point he's playing identical to how Goodwin played here.

Where's are those posters from earlier this year who said it was too early to worry about anything and that everything would be fine?

At this point I'm more looking forward to 2017 than April 2016 because we are a S16 team at best right now.

Me: 3 games into the year and I'm starting to worry about 3pt shooting.

Nearly every response: it's only 3 games in and you're worried about shooting? It's just 3 games and they will be fine.

Well we are now 25% of the way done and the shooting is as bad as ever.

And just curious, what was my opinion on the twins that was so wrong?

I agree with shooting being a worry. But with Ulis and Murray, I think it'll be fine.

Jerry im not bashing Archie, I've actually grown to like him over the last couple years. But while he was here he was a loose cannon on the court. While Jamal isn't quite as crazy with the ball as Archie was, he's still not taking good care of it nor is he shooting any good at all.

Also there's been 2 times this half where Jamal and drove down the lane and was extremely lucky not to be called for a charge. Another thing Archie did a lot of.

Jamal Murray is the first player in UK history to make a 3-pointer in each of his first 10 games.

He's no where close to Goodwin. Way better outside shooter and he's worlds ahead in basketball IQ. Goodwin was a turnover or wild shot waiting to happen and was probably the most selfish player I've ever seen in a UK uniform. Murray has a ton of talent but is adjusting to the college game.

i see 66 - 48. What's the problem?

Murrays got some great skills and a great feel for the game. He fixes his shot and he's going to take off. He has a hitch in his release your pic shows perfectly. He over exaggerates his wrist cock and holds it a beat too long before releasing IMO. Seems to disrupt the rhythm of his release. For a guy that looks so solid at the line it's odd to see him look so uncomfortable and hesitant from outside. Of course the more you miss the more you hesitate and it's a perpetuating problem.

Love to see him just catch and release without holding that release. The guys got great hands and needs to allow that natural touch to take over.

OP just still mad we didn't get Newman. He thinks Newman is better than Murray and briscoe

This. Dude went insane when we signed Briscoe because it would drive Newman away and Newman, according to the op was the best guard coming out of high school since Wall lol. Plus he's had numerous terrible takes on here and usually likes CutNets posts.

This op can't be serious can it? Are there really that bad talent evaluators that post here? Just a comical comparison.
