San Antonio Spurs

Draft Picks: Dejounte Murray No. 29

The Spurs don’t seem to ever hit rebuilding mode or fail to capitalize on a draft pick. With the future safely in the strong hands of Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge, and with Tony Parker quickly aging, Dejounte Murray is a great value pick for San Antonio.

Murray is an explosive guard with good size that has shown the capability to play either guard position. He’s a decent shooter, extremely quick and finishes well at the rim.

Could come in and provide some guard depth off the bench immediately.

The Spurs will dip their feet in the free agency pool and will surely remain a top team in the West for years to come.

Grade: B
