Kenyon Murray's Line up to Consider: Joe, Kris, PMac, Keegan, Filip. He Replies "Why Not?" when asked about CMac & JBo coming off the Bench
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I recall Kenyon mentioning at one point that both of his sons have played PG at times, either at Prairie or at DME (or both). If that's the case, how about this lineup*:
1-Kris Murray, 6-8
2-Keegan Murray, 6-8
3-Patrick McCaffery, 6-9
4-Filip Rebraca, 6-9
5-Riley Mulvey, 6-11 (Or Josh Ogundele, 6-10)
(*-Not to be taken too seriously ... just making discussion)
(But "Why Not?"
)

They were a lot shorter at that point in life. 🙂I recall Kenyon mentioning at one point that both of his sons have played PG at times, either at Prairie or at DME (or both). If that's the case, how about this lineup*:

Interesting topic. I especially enjoyed the full page debating what Kenyon actually meant and then the full page of back and forth insults. It's what basketball fan forums should be all about.

Actually, IIRC both Murray's are now 6'9" - This is kind of a Fran dream lineup, long and lean across the board. I do like having either Ulis or JT on the floor for quickness and elite ball handling. But this would be an interesting lineup to experiment with.I recall Kenyon mentioning at one point that both of his sons have played PG at times, either at Prairie or at DME (or both).

I really enjoy seeing Kenyon's posts on this board. If he clarifies something he posted why not just go with his own words? I sure hope this doesn't turn him off from posting in the future.
As for the lineup, having less Connor and JBo is not a new concept. Many of us have been looking for that for a while.
I would prefer Connor not start and that he is limited to 10 minutes per game or less in spot duty.
I'd also prefer JBo not start, but could see him as the starting 2 but with a quick hook if he goes 0-3 and/or gives up multiple blow bys defensively in the first 5-7 minutes.
Of course this is just what I'd like to see, not at all what I expect Fran to do.

Now the posters are in the "oh sh!t Kenyon is watching so I better kiss up" mode.
Toussaint wouldn't be what you are looking for if you want elite ball handling.

First point on Joe is fair, I would agree that 24 is close to his max. Admiddetly I have not seen enough of Rebracca to have a really strong opinion, but I stand by Keegan getting a lot of minutes
Everyone on here should enjoy eating our crow. We were so wrong about the Murray brothers. Keegan is incredible. I can only imagine what it will be like if Kris has a somewhat comparable skill set. It’s going to be fun to watch and I’m all for those two in the starting lineup. Go Hawks!
Think of the defense Kris would bring along side Keegan. And I just want to see 2 Murrays out there rebounding the damn ball.
And Kris out there with quick feet & blocking shots is not something that JBo brings to the table.
The one thing that stands out the most to me about the Murray twins, is their rebounding. It is damn good!!!
Thank you Kenyon!!!
On April 26, 2021, Kenyon Murray pretty much nailed it when he said this was a line up to consider:
Joe T
Kris Murray
PMac
Keegan
Filip
See what follows. Note the interaction at the end when it came to the starting line up:
Fan: No jbo? I mean I like your line up but Connor and jbo coming off bench, Fran won’t have that will he?
Kenyon: Why not?
Makes sense. Brad Davison is like JBo in tenure lol, but didn't he come off the bench for quite a while?
not sure how long Davison has been starting; it seems like a while,however
I wish we could get Kenyon on the staff to teach rebounding
Are you talking about Fran? I agree--Fran is clearly biased towards his two boys.
Honestly, Fran has to shakeup the lineups because what he thought would work is not working and is heading for NIT at best.
Out @FR has the skillset to play anywhere on the court. He can play one position and is undersized at that position.
Yeah, the 5 spot has been a big issue. I think we all were hoping Josh would bring something to the table this year.
And I thought Filip had the 3 ball in his arsenal; I guess not.
People keep saying we just need to get to 10 B1G wins. Well, with 5 road games left, not sure how we get there. Michigan is playing better; Nebraska is playing better. There is no gimme road win for this team.
