The San Antonio Spurs will have plenty of options for picks when they get to their second-round selection. One of the more intriguing options available to them will be Virginia’s Trey Murphy. The 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward is a promising 3-and-D prospect in this draft who should fly under the radar.
The rising senior (he is in the NBA Draft, but also maintained his eligibility) is a late bloomer in this draft. He started at Rice and transferred to Virginia after two years in Texas.
Murphy played well moving up to a Power Five conference and seemed to fit in quite well with the Cavaliers playing for Coach Tony Bennett.
