"In today's NBA, you can never have enough shooting," Thibodeau said. "We addressed a need. Both guys shoot extremely well."
Snell, who possesses a wingspan near 7 feet, a 9-inch hand length and very low 4.9 percent body fat, has the tools and athleticism to become a strong perimeter defender able to guard multiple positions.
Snell averaged 9.2 points while missing just one of 105 games in three seasons at New Mexico. So he's durable. He's also long, though not considered a strong rebounder. There also are questions about his aggressiveness.
"We think he has a chance to contribute this year," general manager Gar Forman said. "Long term, there's great upside because of his makeup, his tools and his ability to shoot."In the second round with the 49th pick overall, they added Murphy, a 6-foot-10 "stretch 4" from Florida who led the SEC in 3-point shooting last season at 45.3 percent.
I had no idea a PF lead the SEC in 3-pt shooting %.
