After a horrible 2024-25 season that was riddled with injuries and off-court struggles, training camp has arrived for the New Orleans Pelicans, and fans are excited to see this squad back.

A huge part of the excitement for Pelicans fans heading into this season is because of Trey Murphy III. However, the mainstream NBA media continues to sleep on Murphy III and his potential breakout into stardom this season.

The 25-year-old is coming off a breakout season in 2024-25, where he averaged 21.2 points per game, but people who follow the Pels closely see that there is clearly another level to Murphy III’s game.
