Dejounte Murray is supposed to return sometime in January.
Coming off an Achilles I do not expect him to be helpful. Fears on/off being so bad maybe anyone not named Jeremiah Fears will help but I am not banking on that team passing us.
 
For those that take in to consideration the other side of the ball, CMB is a great prospect. I've really enjoyed watching him this year. Last night he went 3 for 11 from the field, but was still a +12 for the game, which was no coincidence because his defensive impact was that good. In the same possession he is bodying up Valanciunas and not giving up any ground, and then goes out and guards Murray out on the perimeter. You can also see him talking to his teammates and directing traffic on defense which is super impressive as a rookie.

He's still got a long way to go as he fouls too often and makes a lot of rookie mistakes, but he's exciting because you can see the defensive potential. Offensively he'll need to improve a lot if he wants to be more than just a 20-25 minute per game player.
