Kris Murray - Way-to-Early 2023 NBA Mock Draft
- Thread starter defender hawk
- Start date
@Hawksfor3 , not looking good for Kris joining Keegan and the Kings.
Nevertheless, I wish Kris nothing but the best, and I look forward to rooting for him and watching him on his new team.

This is nonsense. I'm sticking with the experts on here who don't think he's a first round talent.
its pretty amazing how he's been considered a top 20 pick for the last 9 months
i wonder if his stock will rise even further when he meets with NBA teams and works out for them?
I was speaking of you repeating my post nearly word-for-word.
In one thread, I wrote:

C’mon. We can’t possibly both be that smart.

Kris is going to shine when he's the 3rd, 4th or 5th option. He's long and an athletic freak. Yes, he could get stronger, but he'll figure it out.
Well, I do look forward to rooting for him and watching him on his new NBA team; and that's what I typed. Sometimes rooting for that team can be hard. For example, watching Luka when he was on the Pistons was not easy. I am glad he got out of there.
Kris is not good enough to be a lottery pick. Mid to late first round pick yes, but not a lottery pick.
Lol. That statement was made prior to the season. Yes, with the benefit of hindsight, Kris won’t be a lottery pick.
You never know what will happen.
I just hope he at least goes to a team in the Western Conference, if not Sacramento.
Yeah, I think he's going to do close to or as well as Keegan has.
Keegan has played in 78 of 80 games for the Sacramento Kings.
Keegan's averages:
29.8 minutes (of 48 possible)
12.2 points
4.6 rebounds
1.2 assists
.8 steals
.5 blocks
45.4 FG%
41.6 three point %
76.5% FTs
#19 pick in July of last year.
#19 pick today.
From NBC Sports:
#19 Houston Rockets (via Clippers): Kris Murray
Team: Iowa Hawkeyes
Year: Junior
Position: SF/PF
Height/Weight: 6'8, 215 lbs
Kris Murray is showcasing a lot of the skills that made his twin brother Keegan a top-five pick just a year ago. He's a natural scorer who will be a positional mismatch with his 6-foot-8 length. Most teams should be able to plug him in right away.

It's always dependent on who jumps into the draft early, too. Some player's stock may have jumped up since last year, plus the needs of teams may have changed in the last 6 months. That's what makes it difficult to tell where players drafted later than 6-7 in the draft will land.
And fwiw regarding strength in thr NBA. I was living in Seattle when they drafted Kevin Durant and remember this vividly

Houston right now has the 2nd worst record in the NBA (the Pistons are the worst).
It would be quite the haul for the Rockets if they got the #1 overall pick and the #19 overall pick in Kris Murray.
I'm surprised at the team movement in the NBA standings from one year to the next. Lots of parity in the league and one guy can make a big difference one way or the other.
This year's NBA playoffs are going to be nuts, especially in the Western Conference. The defending champs (the Warriors) are the current 5 seed and the Lakers are the current #7 seed. Both teams, if healthy, could make some noise.
Theres probably 6 or 7 teams just in the west that could win it.
Going to be a very entertaining playoffs.
I believe it was Fox who commented after the Kings beat the Clips (in OT?) that they were old and couldn't keep up. (Or was it Mitchell?). Pistons are a mess.
Kris was consistently #13-#16 in mock drafts before the last couple weeks of the regular season. When I looked last week he was at best #19 and one didn't even have him. I wouldn't say he is a lock for the first round
I’m curious how big of an effect Keegan’s success is having on Kris’s stock.
I’d venture he’s making his brother a good bit of money.

Curious as to what site didn't have him listed? Most reputable ones have him mostly from 17-21 still. He's definitely a lock.

Fun interview from last night.
And they bring up that Kris is projected to be a top 20 pick.

Either these guys are all 7'5" or Kris is 5'10". Lol
They put Kris and Keenyan on 2 foot chairs or what??
Must be sitting a few feet back. Still a weird look.
