Yahoo Sports Commentary
Henderson is the best guard in this draft class and can grow into a pro learning from Dame Lillard. The 6-2 guard dominated the G League the last two seasons and averaged 17.6 points and 6.6 assists this past year. Henderson will bring tremendous court vision and playmaking to the Trail Blazers.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
Murray is a solid forward who does a lot of the little things very well. He's a reliable shooter, will always make the extra pass to an open teammate and not force anything, and uses his footwork to keep guys in front off the block. Murray is a player who can come in right away and give solid minutes, and he still has room to grow into more of an offensive threat past the 3-point line.
