Scout's Take
Murphy is a skilled and versatile guard with a high basketball I.Q. He shoots the ball well from behind the three-point line but has also developed a secondary weapon with his pull-up game. He has a nice, high release on his stroke that allows him to get it off without much seperation and is also capable of making some plays with the ball, both in the open floor as well as utilizing a ball-screen.
