Strengths:
Natural scorer that makes putting the ball in the basket look effortless. He’s very good in catch and shoot situations and has three-point range that must be respected by his defender. Murray’s stronger than he looks and has shown the ability to get to the free throw line at a good rate. He’s comfortable in the lane and has a variety of shots to finish over bigger defenders. Murray has a good feel for the game and doesn’t appear to be a selfish player. Some scouts feel he can develop into a combo, or even point guard as his career moves on. He’s an above average rebounder on the defensive glass for a guard, averaging nearly 6 RPG per 40 minutes.
Weaknesses:
Not overly impressive when it comes to leaping ability or quickness. His average first step will make it difficult for him to turn the corner and get in the paint against better defenders. Might be too turnover prone to ever transition to point guard. The tools and effort are there for Murray to be an above average defender, but he often loses focus off the ball and will gamble for steals too often.
