In a pre-draft workout with the Celtics, Jamal Murray made 79 of 100 3-point in a performance that was impressive by all counts. It also shouldn’t be all that surprising that Murray shot 40.8 percent from 3-point range during his one season at Kentucky. Boston really needs shooting., and 2008 Ray Allen isn’t working out in that role anytime soon.
Murray will likely be a shooting guard in the NBA, but he is capable of playing at either guard spot. An off-the-ball shooter of Murray’s caliber, who can also create off the dribble, would be a huge help to Isaiah Thomas and a team that is in dire need of shooters and scorers.
Murray has the scoring instincts and ability and shooting touch to be a good NBA scorer. The Celtics going this direction makes a lot of sense, in my opinion.
