It was hardly so long ago that PG/SG Dejounte Murray was a fantasy superstar, averaging 21.1 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 9.2 APG and 2 SPG for the 2021-22 Spurs.
Fantasy managers loved him, for obvious reasons. It took a few seasons, but Murray, then 25, was suddenly one of the top statistical options in the sport.
Then came the ill-advised trade to the Hawks. Murray remains a solid fantasy option with Atlanta, averaging 21.4 PPG, 5 RPG and 5 APG, but his numbers and impact are not the same.
His pairing with star PG Trae Young for a season and a half has been an awkward one, and Murray can produce only so much playing next to one of the highest-usage ball handlers around.
