I'm just not really sure it translates all that well.  He has nice body control, but athleticism wise, he was pretty much a below the rim player this year and it's shocking how ineffective he was defensively in the zone.  For someone with all this length and athleticism, I would have expected him to disrupt plays out of the zone and be more than a below-average finisher around the rim.

And he could become a good shooter if he improves his shot selection, but you see guys use that excuse all the time and never change when they get to the NBA.  He isn't exactly a great FT shooter either, so that doesn't project him to be anything special as a shooter either.

I'm hoping he succeeds in the NBA, but much like Ennis and Dion before him, I'm not really a fan of him as a prospect at all.  It would be nice to have a really good NBA player from Syracuse again though.

Hopefully the last edit:
In terms of 2 guards in this draft, I have it ranked like this:
1. Murray (can probably handle some PG, but we'll see.
2. Buddy
3. Furkan Korkmaz
4. Valentine
5. Timothe Luwawu
6. Malik Beasley
7. Malachi
