Keegan Murray

Consistent and polished Sacramento Kings forward who announced himself as a legitimate NBA talent with a stellar rookie season.

Keegan Murray committed to the University of Iowa alongside his identical twin brother Kris, then won the 2022 Karl Malone Award as the nation's top power forward, then went fourth overall in the NBA Draft — a career arc that began in a Cedar Rapids driveway shared with a sibling and extended to Sacramento's starting frontcourt.efore the pair spent a postgraduate year together at DME Academy in Florida and committed jointly to the University of Iowa. Murray played two seasons for the Hawkeyes, and delivered a breakout junior season in 2022 that saw him win the Karl Malone Award as the nation's top power forward and earn consensus first-team All-American honours, establishing himself as one of the most productive scorers in college basketball that season. The Sacramento Kings selected Murray fourth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, and he earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honours, quickly developing into a reliable three-point shooting forward and a key building block for the Kings' young core. Murray has continued to develop as a stretch forward for Sacramento, renowned for his shooting efficiency and improving defensive versatility, while his twin brother Kris has carved out his own professional career, continuing a basketball partnership that began in their Cedar Rapids driveway.
