I haven't seen anything out of Murray that impresses me. It's still early, but I don't see Keegan's abilities or know how in his brother.

Do they have the best plan for Blazers games?

It’s just one of the only streaming services that carries Root..that and the DirectTV one. I have YouTubeTV most of the year cause I prefer the interface, but for Blazers season I pause it and switch to Fubo. It sucks but I gotta watch the games
 
Scoot doesn't really remind me of Russell Westbrook, which has been a comparison I've seen alot. Granted, I haven't seen a lot of Scoot Henderson, but he reminds me more of Rod Strickland with more explosiveness. He looks like he's going to be a 10+ assist type of PG, collapse the defense and find the open man....

I can definitely see that in style of movement and how he plays. Strickland with a [much] more vibrant personality and above-the-rim finishing ability sounds pretty good!

They played well with him on the floor He was a + 18 in 18 minutes and had 5 rebounds and an assist.
Having said that the other 220 lb rookie looked better. But he does have a sweet-looking 3pt shot.

The part that concerns me is that he's 23 but he doesn't look ready to contribute. Camara plays like a guy who's 23. They're rookies, but he has confidence and he has a polished game. Murray is just kind of..... there? I forget that he's even on the court half the time.

Gotta be tough being the (significantly) less-talented twin, then thinking you might have found a spot where you might be able to grow and shine, and then getting outplayed by a second-rounder whom your team didn't even draft.

Nothing's guaranteed. Look at Kevin Knox. How does he feel? He was the 9th pick overall.

Scoot is trying to involve the team.

He could just as easily be running the floor by himself.

Murray did dribble out of a harassing defense and make a nice pass to Camara on the baseline.

But Murray has looked pretty bland from the first game in summer league compared to Camara.

Still early in his NBA career though.

Huh?

Camara is built like a football player. Rupert still has room to add muscle, sort of like a taller Stacy Augmon. Murray does not look chiseled like Camara or like the rubber band Rupert.

Augmon's defense was fantastic. I think Rupert is a better ball handler than Augmon was.

What? You mean tonight?
Will Sharpe play? Give him 48 minutes. That would be nice for him.

No, at that time when I posted it, we had like the super scrub lineup out there. I think it was Mays, Rupert, Minaya, Reath and Knox.

When Murray was selected, I was happy. His college stats and tape looked good … like his brother — Keegan’s play from year 1 to year 2 and Kris from year 2 to 3. By the end of year 1, I look forward to seeing how Kris develops as a pro. He’s not flashy. Or hyper athletic. He just makes basketball plays. For both Murray brothers, I don’t really think about floors and ceilings as players. It’s more about being glad one of them is a Blazer.
