Mid-way through the 2017-18 season, head coach Gregg Popovich, with consultation from Tony Parker, made the bold decision to hand the keys to the starting point guard position to a 21-year-old Dejounte Murray. The move signified the passing of the torch from one generation to the next and Murray did not disappoint with the new influx of playing time.
Now, with Parker having moved to the Charlotte Hornets, the point guard position is Murray’s and Murray’s alone. In his first full season as the conductor of the offense, expect Murray to make huge strides, both offensively and defensively.
