Dejounte Murray: Draft class| Trade Knicks| And Jilly Anais

Dejounte Dashaun Murray (born September 19, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one season of college basketball for the Washington Huskies, where he earned second-team All-Conference honors in the Pac-12 in 2015–16 as a freshman. He was selected by the Spurs in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft as the 29th overall pick. In 2022, Murray was named to his first NBA All-Star Game and led the league in steals. He is the franchise leader of the Spurs in career triple-doubles.

Draft class

The first two selections of the 2016 NBA Draft were all already known, but Thursday still featured a lot of play with trades and draft boards that could go in countless directions.

Duke’s Brandon Ingram and LSU’s Ben Simmons were widely considered the two best prospects in the 2016 class, but many other players like Buddy Heald and Jamal Murray are potential superstars who could help transform their new franchise.

Here is a look at grades for selections, as well as a spotlight on a few top-10 playe

2016 NBA Draft Team Grades and Selections

Round 1	Team	Player	Grade/Analysis
1	Philadelphia 76ers	Ben Simmons, LSU	A: This was a pretty tough selection to fumble. Simmons is clearly the top player in this draft as a 6’10” forward with elite handling and passing ability. He should develop into a superstar.
2	Los Angeles Lakers	Brandon Ingram, Duke	A: The Lakers finished last in the NBA in three-point percentage, so Ingram is an excellent fit as a tremendous perimeter scorer. He will need to become stronger, but Ingram has the potential to be a complete player and a dominant offensive force.
3	Boston Celtics	Jaylen Brown, California	B-: Brown is a top-notch athlete who fits a position of need for the Celtics. This is still a high-risk pick, as Brown is undeveloped as a shooter, and Boston needs some threats from the outside.
4	Phoenix Suns	Dragan Bender, Croatia	B: Another high-risk, high-reward selection here with Bender. He is great shooter and extremely athletic for a 7-footer. He will take a few years to make a substantial impact, but he could become an asset in a league where stretch forwards have become a premium.
5	Minnesota Timberwolves	Kris Dunn, Providence	B+: Dunn is a great prospect who is a safe pick because of his defensive prowess. He will fit in well as a slashing guard that can create space for Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, but will he be able to coexist with Ricky Rubio?
6	New Orleans Pelicans	Buddy Hield, Oklahoma	A-: Hield is an elite shooter who will make an immediate impact for the Pelicans. Look for him to benefit from double-teams to Anthony Davis while also spacing out the floor for Jrue Holiday to get in the lane.
7	Denver Nuggets	Jamal Murray, Kentucky	A: Murray is the best scoring guard in the draft, and he should immediately step into Denver’s starting lineup. The Nuggets need an offensive star to build around, and Murray has the tools to be that guy.
8	Phoenix Suns (From Sacramento)	Marquese Chriss, Washington	B: Chriss is another project, but Phoenix picked up two high-upside players within the first eight selections. The Suns are trying to get big and athletic, which is a smart move after watching the success of Oklahoma City during the past postseason.
9	Toronto Raptors	Jakob Poeltl, Utah	A-: Poeltl is potential sleeper in this draft as an athletic big man who could become the next Steven Adams. He is a more polished scorer than Adams, and he fits a need for Toronto. Great pick.
10	Milwaukee Bucks	Thon Maker, Athlete Institute	D: This is a huge reach for a kid swamped with question marks. Maker is a sensational athlete for a big man, but he is not Giannis Antetokounmpo. There were much more established players available who could have helped a team that made the playoffs two years ago.

Trade Knicks

New York closed its second trade in the past few days with the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday evening, sending the contracts of Nerlens Noel and Alec Burke to the Pistons. The Knicks saved a ton of cap room as they prepare to award Dallas Mavericks star guard Jalen Brunson a major contract Thursday after a period of NBA free agent tampering.

According to this note from Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, The Knicks are expected to “appear” Brunson on Thursday with a four-year contract offer worth about $110 million. That $27.5 million annual salary is slightly higher than previous reports.

Tuesday’s trade with Detroit also means the Knicks may sign Brunson instead of relying on the Dallas Mavericks to pull off a sign-and-trade in the cap space. It also opens up other avenues for upgrading their roster, including chasing down San Antonio Spurs All-Star guard DeJonte Murray.

“It is believed that the Knicks may try to score a run at San Antonio’s DeJonte Murray via trade or use several draft picks using another target of Murray’s caliber, regardless (front office Head Leon) Rose, as swiftly expected, secures Brunson’s signature.”

And Jilly Anais

This may come as a big shock to you but the relationship between a professional athlete and an Instagram model has turned sour. I know I know, usually those relationships are stronger than the smell that emanates from the bathroom after my Uncle Dale’s third plate of turkey and gravy, but unfortunately, it’s Spurs’s Dijonte Murray and model Jilly. Anais was not in the cards.

The pair began dating back in 2017 and have made headlines several times since then—namely for starting a YouTube channel together that included a “score and strip” segment and at the time rejecting Ms. Anees at an upscale Beverly Hills steakhouse. was given because her skirt was too short.
