I think a decent comparison is Keegan Murray

or a non twin comparison Dorian Finney-Smith

A guy I know that evaluates players said that to me

I don't watch enough Dallas and Brooklyn. . Is that comparison something to be excited about?

If he is anything close to his twin in Sacto, a steal at 23
 
Just post Keegan Murray highlights and hope that it’s Kris Murray’s upside and I’m feeling great.
 
I would think Kris will be part of a trade in the near future.

I mean we have Watford & Jabari already at the 4 & it wouldn't surprise me if we keep Winslow on a min deal.
If we can acquire a vet 3/5 by adding Murray along with Nurk and or Simons?

I don't think we'll do that or we would have just traded the 23 pick....Joe said he got a lot of calls for the 23 pick but they wanted Murray here. He fills a need and could actually start at PF for us. Watford or Winslow won't play ahead of him.

Possible. I just dont see Grant not starting bat 4 with Watford as bu. Its going go take Kris a couple years to earn that spot imo. We'll see.
 
I say start him from day one and see what you have and let him develop.
 
I have zero faith in him becoming anything in the NBA.

I'd go so far as to say he may be the worst twin in NBA history in comparison to his brother.

Right now, I'd say Brook and Robin probably have the biggest gap. I think the gulf between Kris and Keegan will far surpass that of the Lopez's.
 
At 23, getting a good starter is a big win. Getting a starter is a win. A strong 6th man is a win.

The Blazers have 2nd rounders Camara, Walker, and Rupert to go with Murray — actual positional size in 4 back-ups. Cronin and Schmitz have done a strong job with these guys. Hitting on 2 of 4 is a win. Jabari looks like a serious back-up, Camara — for a rookie — as a strong defender AND I’m good with Murray continuing to develop and looking like a smooth player at forward. It’s just too early for me to count ANY of these guys out.

I want to argue with you on this topic. But after turning over several stones, I really can’t.
 
Always fun to read older takes now that we have some real NBA film on him.

Over/under on him having a better career than Luke Babbitt?
 
Murray looks confused and Camara looks certain. Murray's unspectacular brother plays for a more experienced coach. Give Murray another year to equal Camara, which isn't all that high of a goal.

Murray has at least made strides in making his game not look robotic and predictable. I’ve seen him adopt a euro step and some dribble drive action. Compared to the sit in the corner and shuck 3’s we saw previously
