About three weeks ago, Dejounte Murray was the talk of the San Antonio Spurs’ 4-0 start. Starting at point guard, he was cutting through defenses, finding his way to the basket with intensity. However, the focus was on the Washington product’s defense, using his near seven-foot wingspan to grab double-digit rebounds and wreak havoc on the defensive end.
On Nov. 10, against the Milwaukee Bucks, Murray played just nine minutes, a season-low. It was a far cry from the future starting-point-guard-in-the-making title he received in mid-October. So, what happened?
Murray started the first seven games of the season, hitting double-digit points in three of them.
