For The Win forecasting Murray brothers reunion

[ad_1]

Here’s something Iowa hoops fans can get on board with: How about a Murray brothers reunion in Sacramento?

For The Win’s Bryan Kalbrosky is projecting as much in his latest 2023 NBA mock draft. Base on what Kalbrosky wrote, I’m not sure he’s even aware of what he’s put together here for Hawkeye fans.

Iowa’s Kris Murray would have benefited from a stronger performance in the NCAA men’s tournament, but it’s still worth noting that he had an excellent season. The All-Big Ten forward finished the season averaging 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Kalbrosky, For The Win.

Murray explored the draft process last summer, but ultimately chose to come back to Iowa City and was the biggest reason why the Hawkeyes made a fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament trip.

“It’s definitely familiar territory for me. I obviously learned a lot and to be able to kind of follow (Keegan) through this process helped a lot, too. This year I know that there’s just one goal in mind and it’s to get drafted, so I try to work hard every day and make it a really tough two months for me because I know I can get better from it,” Murray said recently when discussing his 2023 NBA draft prospects.

If reaching the 2023 NBA draft’s first round was the goal, Kris Murray appears like he’s primed to have accomplished that.

“For me the first round was obviously the goal coming back. I think I played myself into that and I just want to go to a team that just fits me the best on and off the court,” Murray said.

Murray said he hopes to add some strength between now and the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. Now, it’s about going to work and fitting in when given his destination.

“I would say the biggest thing is just identifying your role early. Keegan was really able to do that with the Kings, be a professional in that role. I think that’s admirable. He treats it like a job, a job that he has fun with, is excited to go to every single day. That’s kind of where I learned a lot about…
