Dejounte Murray at #Pelicans shootaround on Zion (questionable to play tonight): "That’s a guy teams are going to load up on. He’s going to be able to get guys (open) shots and allow that to open things up for him. We don’t want him to feel like he has to come save the world."

Murray was the 29th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft out of Washington.

He has also spent time with the San Antonio Spurs (in addition to the Hawks and Pelicans) over nine seasons.
