Teammates in this game just how did you navigate that throughout this game and then you know put your foot on the pedal to kind of close this one out uh maturity uh I mean you know you got to give credit to him you know for what he
Does you know he plays tremendously hard every single night uh you know I’m a fan just you know just knowing him from him in college and just seeing his career and you know just doing what he does that’s what he does and and you just got
To be mature about it deante we’ve asked coach about what he thinks of sadique and his energy just as his teammate what have you seen out of him and just the kind of energy that he brings on the court uh I mean just he’s a I mean he went to Villanova
Uh and I say that as you know you look around the lead and all the villain NOA guys just how smart and you know they the way they play the game on both ends of the floor and they just compete at a high level and uh you know it translated

Want to see him and everybody else succeed so it’s just great to see him and everyone else do well DJ you got to the line 15 times which I think might even be a career high it’s definitely a season high was that a point of emphasis just to try to

Dejounte Murray has made some impressive defensive plays throughout his career. One of his standout moments was during the 2019-2020 season when he recorded a career-high 6 steals in a single game against the Houston Rockets. His quick hands and anticipation allow him to disrupt passing lanes and create turnovers. Murray's defensive prowess has earned him recognition as one of the top young defenders in the league. It's always exciting to see him lock down opponents and make those game-changing defensive plays! 🏀🔒
