Love it!! Big time scorer. Can play PG or off ball. Has great 3 point range and is real quick and explosive.

"The team's top scorer last season (15.2 ppg), McMurray was suspended the first six games this season for an undisclosed violation."

Any idea what that violation entailed?

Yeah this is one of my only concerns:

(1) Will he be open to sharing the ball as much as the rest of the team? I certainly want him to shoot and shoot often, though.

(2) Will he disrupt the team chemistry (though I have no idea what the violation was)?

Shouldn't we give the staff a little credit for doing their homework on these concerns?? I Have zero worries.

I'm all for giving the guy a chance, and he's a top talent. Just want to avoid the pitfalls of being burned once again by past reputation showing its true colors. #inJankwetrust

There seems to be a really important missing player missing from this list of nine players. JF?

100% agree LA. One he's been a crum several times playing around with some of the guys, so I'm sure they could all get a vibe if he would fit in. And there's no way we don't know about what the violation is, it's not like the staff is naïve or LB where at times he didn't care.

Also his shooting numbers at USF were high because they didn't have anyone else who could consistently score.

And on these lists let's not forget likely one of the best players on the team Next year Jarrey & still gonna add a grad transfer.

That escalated quickly. Don't think Smooboy or myself were expressing a lack of confidence in Jank and team about doing their homework. Just expressing minor concerns.
