Among things to be concerned with ahead of the 2018-19 season, the dedication of Dejounte Murray is the least of head coach Gregg Popovich’s worries. The 22-year-old has spent his first two seasons working toward the opportunity that he’ll embrace in the new season.
This will mark Murray’s first full season as a starter in the NBA, a milestone that many players could only dream of. It was his work ethic and active choice to buy in to the Spurs culture that earned him the position.
Murray spoke about his willingness to become a leader during the Spurs Media Day on Monday.
