2016 NBA Mock Draft: How high can Marquese Chriss climb?

24. player. 93. <p>If the Sixers don’t make a move at the top of the draft to find their point guard of the future, there are decent options available in the mid-20s. Dejounte Murray is one such option. The second high upside prospect out of Washington, he is a 6-5 guard with a rangy 6-10 wingspan who can play either guard position, but seems well-suited to eventually develop into a point guard at the next level.</p> <p>Murray’s offensive game revolves around his slashing ability and decent ball-handling skills. He can create space to get into the lane, and while he’s not an excellent finisher at the rim, he does possess a nice floater that can become a base for scoring in the paint. Murray’s biggest downside offensively is his poor outside shooting. He made a woeful 28.8 percent of his three-point attempts as a freshman and his 66.3 percent free throw percentage doesn’t suggest a lot of room for improvement without major tweaks to his shooting form.</p> <p>Defensively, Murray has the physical tools necessary to defend either guard spot. In order to become a better than average defender, he’ll need to work on playing with consistent effort, especially off the ball where he has a tendency to fall asleep. Murray did average 2.2 steals per 40 minutes at Washington, though, and he’s explosive enough to score quickly in transition when he comes away with one.</p> <p><em>To read more about Dejounte Murray, <a href=.
