First: him going now has absolutely nothing to do with the Mitchell pick. Timelines, tiers, positional scarcity; there are many reasons that equating two players draft positions is basically irrelevant.
Second: they were not comparable players last year. I promise you that. Situation, defense, advanced stats; and I'm probably the second biggest Murray stan itt.
Third: You're correct that he went too late. I think he might be a favorite to be better than John Wall and Russell Westbrook over the life of this draft, but no I won't argue with anyone about that. Just my opinion
