1. He makes good, smart passes. 2. He runs the offense, especially the transition offense, exceptionally well. 3. He rarely shoots (and in this case, it's a GOOD thing). 4. He doesn't do things he knows he can't do. Personally, I can't think of many other things I really want from Murdock. |

Murdock is not great but he is serviceable he has a nice assist to turnover ratio and he came up with 4 steals last night. Also I think Jimmer is better than Burgess right now, However Sam didnt score last night but he came up with 8 rebounds.
If we didnt need the scoring off the bench I would have no problem with Jimmer starting. The problem is right now if Jimmer doesnt come off the bench we have no scoring from our second unit.

I don't have a problem with Murdock. I do have a problem with the fact that BYU doesn't have a legit D-1 starting point guard - whether that is Rose's fault in recruiting or other factors beyond Rose's control, I don't know. And I think the lack of said point guard is going to hurt BYU in the NCAA tournament. Murdock has done an admirable job considering his lack of talent and ability. |

Plaisted, likewise, has been excellent for someone with a terrible basketball IQ and a peanut-sized brain.

I don't think Murdock is ideal by any means. I think he's been far better than what his 'detractors' claim. And, based on recent performance, I believe Fredette would be a significant upgrade at point...NEXT YEAR. It's not necessarily that Murdock is fantastic...it's just that his strengths fit with what BYU needs at the point this year. And given that, I DON'T think he'll be a serious liability come tourney time. |
