Keegan Murray

Keegan Murray is exactly the kind of homegrown success story the NBA loves, an Iowa kid who blossomed late, dominated college basketball, and then went fourth overall to the Kings. What sold me on his pro potential was that record-setting rookie three-point barrage; he proved his shooting wasn't a fluke right away. He's a smooth, versatile forward who fits the modern game perfectly, spacing the floor and defending multiple positions without needing the ball in his hands constantly. He plays with a quiet maturity that suggests his ceiling is still well above where he's at now.
