Jamal Murray: New Orleans Pelicans’ Debrief Discussions

Why should the New Orleans Pelicans choose Jamal Murray, freshmen, Kentucky?

Preston (@PelicanBriefNBA): With the upcoming losses of Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, the Pelicans find themselves woefully short on offensive talent, and more importantly, shooters.

Jamal Murray instantly upgrades their backcourt with a proven shooter and all around scorer. Murray boasted a 42 percent average from three point range, with a rather large sample size, shooting more than eight shots per game. With a 20 point per game average he broke the record for points by a Wildcat freshmen.
