Murray was averaging 17.5 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.5 rebounds last season before going down with an achilles injury.

Injuries suck, and I hope he gets back to his old self soon.

What a rehab turned him into a forward

If this was Golden State he’d be a forward though. Heck Gary Payton II is dang nearly a center in that offense.

I don’t know why they bothered me so much too lol

He might be better as a wing. Slower opponents to defend and still get to playmake from time to time. Only downside is they expect you to have range which he doesn’t.

Forward?!?

Am I tripping? Wasn’t he a point guard?

Maybe he did some shooting guard minutes when with another PG but isn’t he like 6’3 170lbs….? How much weight did he gain while rehabbing lol

Sheesh new achilles must given him inches in height!

Let’s go!

The fact that his rehab went on this long actually gives me more confidence/ look at KD.

A_Destroyed_Soul | Bulls

Wym? His rehab is on par with a typical achilles tear injury. It’s been 13 months since he was last on an NBA court, which is actually much sooner than the standard 18 month recovery associated with this injury. Guys like Tatum are the exception, not the norm.

Murray, Queen, Zion, Fears, and Herb is low key a squad

good on paper

-Pelicans 2020-present

DalliLlama | Heat

Didn’t even include Trey

RogueLightMyFire

Right? Left out their best player lol

MMAjunkie504 | Pelicans

He is out tonight granted

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

3 | 10 hours ago

Yeah, should be Murray/Herb/Trey/Zion/Queen with Fears as the 6 man.

Penguinho

11 | 11 hours ago

Queen and Zion don’t play well together. With Queen on, Zion off, their net rating is -6.5. With Zion and no Queen, it’s -1.5. With neither, it’s -7.7. With both players on the floor, it’s -13.8.

jgman22 | Pelicans

It would help if they had more than a single 3pt shooter around them. Or any one who could defend or rebound.

Penguinho

11 | 10 hours ago

Playing two bigs who can’t defend, shoot or rebound is probably unlikely to work.

Ezzy1998 | Pacers

2 | 9 hours ago

Right lol the solution to a front court that can’t defend or rebound isn’t to get a bunch of guards or forwards to do their jobs for them. Though tbf Zion is probably gone this summer.

moby323 | 76ers

3 | 12 hours ago

Should be, right?

misdreavusval | Mavericks

2 | 11 hours ago

no D + not a single player other than zion is even league average TS and none of them create extra possessions besides herb and zion

MetroBS | Suns

Is this his Pels debut?

moby323 | 76ers

18 | 11 hours ago

Naw he played for them last year but not for long

Joethetoolguy

Oh right the achilles tear.

Mooretwin | Pelicans

He also broke his wrist in his first game with us.

I was at that game! Against the Bulls. Good game, fun stuff.

Normally, age slides you over position-wise. Hate to see it (or maybe this is just a mislabel)

Good luck DeJounte!!!

xychosis | 76ers

What did I miss, when did he become a forward lol

superrealaccount2 | Spurs

They’ve been watering him and giving him decent sunlight, he’s up to 6’8 now

Spurs wouldn’t have Mitch as coach if not for him. Respect.

Pelicans forward Dejounte Murray listed as AVAILABLE tonight after missing more than 1 year due to achilles injury.
