Former UW star Dejounte Murray projected as top-15 NBA Draft pick
A lot of scouting reports are trying to rationalize how they missed on Dejounte Murray.
The 19-year-old entered the season ranked by most college basketball services as somewhere between the 45th and 60th best player in the freshman class.
Now, multiple experts believe Murray is the third-best combo guard available and project the Rainier Beach High School alum as a top-15 pick in the NBA Draft, which starts at 4 p.m. Pacific Thursday. He will likely be the second Husky chosen after teammate Marquese Chriss.
Murray makes perfect sense for the Indiana Pacers, ESPN basketball expert Chad Ford said on a conference call last week, but doesn't expect the guard to be there at No. 20.
