Remember when you reported the Suns “released” CP3??😂How did Dejounte Murray perform in his first season with the Atlanta Hawks? Dejounte Murray joined the Atlanta Hawks via trade last offseason after being named an All-Star for the first time in his career during the 2021-2022 season. The Hawks paid the hefty price of three first-round draft picks and one pick swap to acquire the former San Antonio Spurs guard. While his production slightly dropped with a reduced role, Murray was more efficient in 2022-2023. He averaged 20.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per game while shooting 46.4% from the field, 34.4% from three-point range and 83.2% from the free-throw line. Atlanta struggled for much of the season, creating questions about the fit between Murray and backcourt running mate Trae Young. Despite this, the organization remains confident that the pair are both long-term building blocks that can co-exist.
