With three former Virginia Cavaliers taking part in the NBA’s Summer League this year, all three have already impressed. Specifically, Sam Hauser, Trey Murphy, and Jay Huff are all flashing signs of their development after their rookie seasons in the league.
The 17th overall pick in last year’s draft, Murphy is on absolute fire for the New Orleans Pelicans right now. He’s scored 26.5 points per game in two outings despite struggling to hit the three-ball (26.7%). Murphy has gotten to the line at a crazy rate, shooting over eight free throws per contest — and making 88.
