Locked on Sports: Four Keys for Sonics' success

Locked on Sports: Four Keys for Sonics' success: "Murray will get the first shot to fill the 3-guard rotation. However, he will have to show tremendous growth to handle this significant a role.

Murray will be the first backcourt substitute replacing Ridnour, leaving the Sonics with Murray and Allen in the backcourt and no true ball handler."

We should have kept Alex Scales and dropped Murray. Murray is good at one on one and taking the ball to the rack. Alex may not have been as big an offensive threat as Murray but he could also dish and play solid D something Murray lacks. I hope that we get Scales backat some point. Also, I think that the Sonics need to send Swifty to the NBDL because he looks a little timid out there and needs to bulk up. He is not NBA ready and needs meaningful minutes which he will rarely get with the depth we have.

I wouldn't give up on Swift yet, because simply no one knows how good he will be. The difference between 19 and 23 is HUGE.

Would I bet he's a productive NBA player by the age 23? No.

But, atleast we have Petro. And 1/2 on drafting young centers is a damn good ratio. Swift and that Euro shooting guard they signed may be managements only two mistakes in a long time.

I actually trust them for the most part. Imagine Petro in a few years, the man can play now at 19.
