Back in the 2016 NBA Draft, it was a big hit. The Nuggets drafted Murray with the seventh pick, and the young man didn't disappoint the Nuggets and became a big name on the court. But, do you know what kind of fairy teammates the six in front of him were? Don't worry, let's talk little by little.
The first to stand at the top of the pyramid is Ben Simmons, the big man who was favored by the 76ers, who was originally expected to become the next "Magic" Johnson. The result? Although he has some talent, his performance in the past few years is really ridiculous. Jumper? It doesn't exist, and the shooting of this thing seems to have a vendetta thereof.
He was followed by Brandon Ingram, whom the Lakers picked in the hope that he would become the new "Peter Pan." The lad did have two brushes and was comfortable on the field, albeit a little slower to start, but now it seems that he is slowly showing his strength.
The third pick was Jaylen Brown, the Celtics player who is simply the embodiment of athleticism. His daring style on the field can simply scare the opponent into a cold sweat.
Speaking of the fourth pick, Dragan Bender, the power forward selected by the Suns, has to say that his NBA journey has been somewhat bumpy. Although the potential is limitless, it seems that he has been looking for a stage that suits him.
Chris Dunn, the fifth pick, may not have been very visible in the Timberwolves at first, but later moved to several teams, always trying to find a position, and can be regarded as a hard-working "brick mover".
Finally, Buddy Hield, who is in sixth place, the shooter has been quite impressive for the Pelicans. His three-point shot was as accurate as a missile, and he was sure to hit the shot.
Then we return to our main character, Murray. The guard, who was drafted by the Nuggets with the seventh pick, is simply the captain of the firefight in crunch time. Although he has not yet been selected as an All-Star, his performance on the court is definitely impressive. Especially in the playoffs, this young man's stats are simply blinding - his average of 26.1 points per game is definitely the team's leading scorer.
Compare Murray to the six players before him, and you'll see that the NBA draft is like a lot, and you never know who's going to catch it. Some people are talented but not fully released, while others are slowly coming out, and Murray is undoubtedly the best of the latter.
In the NBA in recent years, Murray is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars. From an underrated rookie to now one of the league's top guards, his growth trajectory has been filled with hard work and sweat. Every time he performs calmly and accurately on the field, people can't help but admire. Even against the league's top defense, he was able to find a flaw and lead the team to victory.
From Murray's story, we can see a truth: no matter how high the position is, it is better for us to work our own. Yes, Zhuangyuanxiu may have an aura, but so what? Whether you can become the protagonist on the court in the end depends on your personal efforts and performance in actual combat. Murray is one such example, who not only earned the respect of the fans with his performances, but also forged his own legend in the face of adversity.
For the Nuggets, choosing Murray was definitely a valuable investment. He has not only improved the overall strength of the team, but also become a pillar of the team's mental outlook. Whenever the team was in trouble, Murray always stepped up and solved the problem with his cool head and accurate shooting.
This kind of ability is not something that every player can do. Therefore, when we evaluate a player again, we should not only look at his draft pick, but also look at his performance on the court and his contribution to the team.
And for those who are overrated or underrated, their stories are a reminder that everyone's path is different. Some people may start out as stars, while others need to go through more grinding and hard work. But no matter what, as long as you keep working hard, there will always be a stage for you.
To sum up, the 2016 NBA Draft is more than just a draft, it's more like a wonderful life drama. Each chosen young person, regardless of starting point, has a story full of uncertainties and possibilities. And Murray's story has undoubtedly taught us a lot of inspiration - no matter where you are, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can always shine on your stage.
