Kings believe Keegan Murray will be better than Lauri Markkanen

Scotto: We also touched on Keegan Murray, and I wanted to get your thoughts on him, because if they’re going to get Pascal Siakam or Kyle Kuzma, you’re going to move Murray positionally down to the three. Is Sacramento trying to upgrade at the four while moving Keegan to the three? What’s the thought process in Sacramento, given where he’s at, especially since you mentioned they think he can be a star. Ham: They view him as a star. I’ve had conversations within the walls. I asked the question, would youtrade him for Lauri Markkanen last season? The answer was “No. We believe he’ll be better than Markkanen.” So that should tell you everything that you need to know about what they feel about him as a player.
