Jamal Murray

Grade: F

Teacher’s Comment: Your son displayed a lack of self-control

I expected more out of Murray. A simple look at the box score might not warrant the F that he was given, but after getting to know Murray’s personality in the off-season, I expected way less bonehead three’s and bad passes. He turned the ball over 4 time, and only logged 2 assists. He went 4-10 from the field, which isn’t terrible, BUT, three of those shots were terrible three-point attempts.

This lack of self-control is worrying, as I expected much more maturity to brought into this game by Murray. He was also incapable of slowing down KCP, leaving him deserving of the F in my opinion.
