Murray appears to be yet another prospect that has great talent, but slipped to the Spurs.
With Tim Duncan’s retirement, Boris Diaw’s trade, and Matt Bonner being on his way out, it is clear that the Spurs are turning their attention to youth. The Spurs signed two un-drafted free agents, and brought over two young international prospects to join the squad in addition to selecting Murray in the first round.
There is a log jam in the backcourt now, though, with Tony Parker and Patty Mills established at the point guard spot, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green established at the shooting guard spot with Johnathon Simmons fighting for a bigger role.
