The New Orleans Pelicans might have found a steal when they drafted Trey Murphy III with the 17th pick.

It’s only Summer League of course, but Murphy III has looked like a guy who will make an immediate impact for the Pelicans on both sides of the court.

He defended well against bigger guys like Evan Mobley and showed a nice touch on his 3-point shot even though he shot it inconsistently.

But does he have a shot at Rookie of the Year?
