2022 Fantasy Outlook
History dictates that fantasy managers should be inherently skeptical of any player drafted by the Kings, but the early returns on Murray are overwhelmingly positive. In four Summer League games, Murray turned in four 20-point efforts, averaging 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.5 made threes per contest. As he did at Iowa last season, Murray played within himself and consistently capitalized on fast breaks and advantage situations. The three-point shooting (40% 3PT, 8.8 3PA/G) was especially encouraging for a player who will likely have plenty of open catch-and-shoot looks as a rookie. He'll fall in line behind De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and perhaps one of Harrison Barnes or Kevin Huerter, but if Murray's defensive numbers at the college level (3.2 blocks/steals per game) translate, he could easily threaten for a top-75 fantasy season as a rookie.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Keegan Mitchell Murray was born in August of 2000 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was a teammate of his twin brother, Kris, in high school and college. His father, Kenyon, played college basketball for Iowa. The Murray brothers played high school ball for Prairie High School in Cedar Rapid, Iowa. As a senior, Keegan Murray averaged 20.3 points and 7.2 rebounds and was named Metro Player of the Year. To gain more exposure, Murray spent a postgraduate year at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida. That year, he averaged 22.1 points and 7.5 boards and earned most outstanding player honors at the National Prep School Invitational. Murray was a three-star recruit and committed to play collegiately at Iowa. Starting four of 31 appearances as a freshman, Murray averaged 7.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 17.9 minutes. He was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. He saw his role increase as a sophomore (2021-22), starting in all 35 appearances and averaging 23.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.9 minutes per game. After his sophomore season, Murray earned the Karl Malone Award and was named Consensus First Team All-American. The powerful forward then declared for the 2022 NBA Draft, where he was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the fourth overall pick.

Double-doubles in win
FSacramento Kings
April 29, 2023
Murray registered 15 points (5-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 45 minutes during Friday's 118-99 victory over the Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Murray didn't have a good shooting performance and ended with more field goal attempts (17) than points scored (15), but the rookie still salvaged his fantasy line by posting a double-double, his first of the series. He has also scored in double figures in three straight outings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Off to good start
FSacramento Kings
November 10, 2022
Murray is averaging 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.8 steals/blocks in 32.3 minutes per game across nine contests this season.
ANALYSIS
Murray has been thrusted into a prominent role in Sacramento, and the rookie is holding his own. Connecting on 37.9 percent of 6.4 three-point tries per game, Murray's shooting has translated. Triples account for 59.3 percent of his total shot attempts, which hints at some creation limitations, but the 22-year-old's start has been unheralded and impressive. He's grading as a slightly above-average defender as well.
