Murray, Keegan  Iowa  6'8" 215 PF soph. 

Murray doesn't blow you away with spectacular plays but he is effective. He led the NCAA in total points scored in 2021-22. As a sophomore, the 6'8" forward averaged 23.5 points, and 8.7 rebounds per game. He shot 39.8% from three-point range and his DEFRTG was 3.6 points per 100 possessions better than the Iowa team DEFRTG. He was the 2022 Big Ten Tournament MVP. Right handed. Murray likes to work in the mid-post. He will get his jacks in. ...Murray shot 74% FT. He had more assists than turnovers and in general he is very conservative with the ball) only 39 turnovers in over 1100 minutes). ...Murray was exceptionally good at Iowa. He led the entire NCAA in boxscore plus/minus. While his ceiling may not be as high as some of the other lottery prospects, we feel like Murray is a safe bet to be a starter in the NBA for many years. 

 

Our best advice: in 2018, the 6th pick was Mo Bamba. We advised, "draft Wendell Carter Jr."
