WALTHAM, Mass. -- The general rule in sports is that you don't acknowledge a milestone until it occurs (think pitchers getting the silent treatment during no-hit bids). But maybe trying to test his mettle, members of the Boston Celtics' organization alerted Jamal Murray that -- entering the final spot in a marathon shooting drill during Friday's pre-draft workout -- he was within striking distance of a new team record.
Murray, the 6-foot-5 guard out of Kentucky, calmly drained eight of his final 10 3-point attempts, finishing with 79 makes out of 100 and besting the Brad Stevens-era pre-draft record of 77 (set earlier this spring by Gonzaga's Kyle Wiltjer).
