2016 NBA Mock Draft: Celtics hold the draft cards at 3

93. <p>It’s hard to imagine any of the three teams with three first round picks in the draft using their full allotment given the difficulties of integrating so many news players, but if any roster in the league simply needs an influx of talent, it’s in Philadelphia. Here, the Sixers pick up one of the draft’s highest upside point guards in Washington’s Dejounte Murray, a player who would like be the second or third point guard off the board if teams were drafting strictly on potential.</p> <p>At 19-years old, Murray has excellent size to play the point guard position, measuring in at 6-5 with a nearly 6-10 wingspan. Although he’s incredibly thin at the moment, he should be able to fill out his frame as he matures physically. At this point, Murray’s best skill is ability to penetrate and get into the paint. He has a decent collection of dribble moves and a nice hop step that he can use to create space. His finishing at the rim isn’t great, but he has some of tools (like a floater) in progress. Murray’s biggest offensive pitfall is his lack of shooting as he made a meager 28.8 percent of his threes as a freshman.</p> <p>Murray’s size also gives him nice upside on the defensive end. While he can be pesky when fully engaged, he often falls asleep off the ball and is still working on figuring out some of the fundamentals. Still, the tools are there for him to develop into a plus defender.</p> <p><em>To read more about Dejounte Murray, <a href=. PG. Washington. Dejounte Murray . 26. player
