PG. Washington. Dejounte Murray . 24. player. 93. <p>At some point, Philadelphia is going to have to add some guards to their cadre of big men. 6-5 guard Dejounte Murray is another high upside prospect who thrived in Washington’s up-tempo system under head coach Lorenzo Romar. As a freshman, he averaged 19.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per 40 minutes while spending time at both guard positions for the Huskies.</p> <p>Murray is at his best in transition where he displays good court vision and the ability to attack in the paint. In particular, he regularly goes to a floater off of one or two feet in order to deal with the length of opposing bigs and he has a number of dribble moves available to create space to get the shot off.</p> <p>To be successful at the next level, Murray will need to work on developing his jump shot. He attempted just 118 three-pointers during his lone college season and made only 28.8 percent of them. He lacks a consistent release and regularly fails to get sufficient arc on his shot. However, he is still just 19-years old and will have plenty of opportunities to improve his jumper in the next few years.</p> <p>Defensively, Murray has the tools to be a pesky perimeter defender. He has a 6-10 wingspan and moves well, but has a habit of falling asleep off the ball. If he can play with consistent attention on that end of the floor, Murray will have a chance to be a versatile perimeter defender in the NBA.</p> <p><em>To read more about Dejounte Murray, <a href=
