Welcome to Amareca
There are some clues that he may have a promise
a) The official Suns coverage of his workout was more than the average I thought
b) He is with Klutch sports just like Bledsoe and Watson
c) We have somewhat of a need regarding PG depth and Murray is a bit of a project which he acknowledges himself. He said he is not afraid for competing for his minutes.
d) The PG position is so influential it is probably worth to try to find the next best PG all the time
e) Dejounte Murray has worked out only for 4 teams: Suns, Jazz, Bucks, Pelicans. All other teams saw him only working out in Cleveland where he prepares for the draft. This could indicate that he has a promise from the Suns at #13 and only worked out for Utah #12. Milwaukee #10 and New Orleans #6.
I could imagine that we are favoring Chriss or Bender at #4, one of them will definitely be there and then Murray at #13 since McD said he does not want to add multiple rookies with positional overlap which would rule out Labissiere, Ellenson, Davis, Sabonis at 13.
I think it is realistic that we may have given Dejounte Murray a soft promise at least at #13 if for example Labissiere or player X is off the board with a hard promise that he is not going to drop out of the first round (#28).
Our need for PG becomes bigger when you believe Gambo's report that the Suns are planning to play Booker at SF some.

#13 Murray
#28 guard/forward or center or stash
