The evaluation of an NBA player's overall ability is most appropriately expressed by a triple-double, which effectively reflects their all-around contribution on the court. In general, most players have triple-doubles for points, rebounds and assists, and a very small number of players contain triple-doubles or even quadruple-doubles for blocks and steals! The retired triple-double gods include Kidd, Oscar Robertson and other players, and the active triple-double gods include James, Westbrook, Harden, Jokic, Alphabet Brother, Doncic, Simmons and other players. Because of the advent of the small ball era, the pace is accelerated and the magic ball is serious, and the three-double has become a very common phenomenon!
Now the three doubles are not only glory, but also have more negative labels, that is, "data brushes"! The former Harden faced the Magic Maniac and slashed the super triple-double data of 60+10+11, and the former Wei Shao faced the Lakers and slashed the super giant triple-double data of 20+20+21. As far as data is concerned, it is basically a rare data in 20 years, and it is difficult to be broken! Therefore, Wei Shao and Harden have been spat at by many fans as data brushes, and until now, neither of them has proved themselves in the playoffs, and they cannot lead the team to the championship!
Having played nearly 30 games this season, Harden has four triple-doubles and Westbrook has five triple-doubles, and the two are not the top two players in the triple-doubles. In front of Harden and Westbrook are Murray and Jokic, who have tied for first place in the league with six triple-doubles. The Nuggets record of 15 wins and 15 losses in the West seventh we have nothing to say, there are too many injuries; but the Spurs are 12 wins and 18 losses in the eleventh position in the West, and Dezhang Taimeri has been criticized! Played 30 games, averaged 18.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, shooting 45% from the field, 25% from three-point range and 69% from the free throws. Among them, the rebounding data is second only to the 2m 13 center Pelter, which is enough to show how good de Zhang tai Murray's rebounding ability is! You know, Murray is only 1 meter 96!
Murray was a draft for Simmons in '16, and Murray was selected by the Spurs with the 29th pick in the first round, and the draft templates Crawford and Livingston were drafted. But today's performance feels like a weakened version of Wei Shao. The rebounding ability is outstanding, the organizational ability is also OK, the scoring efficiency is not high, and the shooting choice is also not small. However, it now seems that Murray has become the core of the Spurs' rebuilding. In terms of status, it is more important than Little White, more than Primo, more important than Kelden, more important than Lonnie Walker, more important than Vassell!
Why did the Spurs choose Murray? This means that Parker fell sharply that year, and it was necessary to have a player to take on the role of the team's offense and organization, so the Spurs chose a guard. I thought I would plant a parker, but who knew that I had harvested a little Wei Shao! His shooting and finishing ability is far inferior to that of his predecessor Parker, but his versatility can still be the core point guard of the team! This, just like the Warriors chose Jordan Pooler, the first round of the final pick to choose an offensive two-way guard, certainly will not lose!
At the beginning of his career, Murray and Forbes competed for the start, and then came a little white, then selected roast chicken and Lonnie Walker, and now Vassell, Trey Jones and Primo. The Spurs' guard line is full of talent, but these men are less talented and versatile than Murray, and Popovich prefers to use Murray. Of course, in part, because Murray has a very good personality, usually listens to Popovich's words, trains very hard, and never slacks off on the pitch, and has no complaints about Popovich's coaching.
But now, I think Murray still needs to strengthen his shooting ability and finishing ability, and the free throw shooting rate is only 69%, which does not feel like a defender player. As far as the original templates Crawford and Livingston were concerned, they were both good at shooting. I now feel like Murray's level is like a Fox with a slightly stronger assist ability and rebounding ability, and he is still at the quasi-All-Star level. If you want to be on par with Wei Shao, you need Murray to strengthen his abilities, including strength! Of course, such Murray also has the title of "data brush". If I want to get rid of this stereotype, I think Murray needs to prove himself by winning!
