American · Cedar Rapids, Iowa · Born 19 August 2001Consistent and polished Sacramento Kings forward who announced himself as a legitimate NBA talent with a stellar rookie season.
Keegan Murray was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on 19 August 2001. A smooth, versatile forward with excellent shooting, Murray burst into the league as a revelation with the Sacramento Kings after being selected fourth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. He averaged 12.2 points on 43% from three as a rookie, helping Sacramento end a 16-year playoff drought in his first season. He developed as a young cornerstone alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis in what became one of the most exciting young rosters in the West. His ability to shoot off screens, handle ball-screen situations and contribute defensively makes him a well-rounded prospect. He and his brothers Kris and Cam Murray are a rare trio of brothers all playing professional basketball simultaneously.
