Keegan Murray, Iowa’s consensus All-American and first-team all-Big Ten forward, has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft.
The do-everything forward put together an all-time season for the Hawks, averaging 23.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game, while putting together 55/40/75 shooting splits. The season is, simply put, the best season I’ve ever seen from an Iowa player, and that’s coming off back-to-back supernova seasons from Luka Garza in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
His averages don’t do the season justice, as he scored 822 points on the year, easily passing the mark Garza set as the single-season record just a season ago.
