That was a fun game to watch last night. Not sure if the Kings have all the pieces of the puzzle yet but they have put together a really good young team. The West could be up for grabs. Sabonis has seemed to really taken a liking to Keegan. Keegan is in a great spot without a lot of pressure. He could get 20 any night if they needed it from him but he's probably the 4th option most of the time.

Actually, Coach Brown has said the opposite. "His journey is different"



If Murray makes a mistake or 2, he's getting pulled out of the game. Many of the other rookies are playing on crappy teams, and they can make 5 or 6 mistakes and stay in the game to keep scoring.

Murray's playing on a team vying for a top-tier playoff spot, and he's going to have a short leash if he screws up.

Exactly, a lot more pressure on a rookie that is a starter and major minutes and points contributor on a team in line for the playoffs. A team that is currently #3 in the Western Conference playoff standings. A few mistakes and he's getting pulled.

Jayden Ivey is playing for last place Detroit. Jabari Smith is playing for last place Houston. Paolo is playing on a Magic team 11 games below .500. Chet isn't playing because of injury, but OKC is currently tied for 10th in the Western conference standings.

Of the top 10 picks in the draft last year, only 2 of them are playing for teams that are currently in a top 8 seed in their conference. The other is Dyson Daniels who is averaging only 20 minutes and 4.6 minutes per game.

I was referring to the pressure to score a lot of points for the team. And he's averaging almost 35 minutes a game over the last 5 so he isn't screwing up much.
