Related Topics: Richard Pitino

Jordan Murphy has been a consistent positive force for Richard Pitino. All signs point to him having another excellent campaign this season.

MEASURABLES

Murphy is listed at 6’6” and 240 pounds, but plays much bigger than his height would indicate. He has great length, which allows him to defend against bigger opponents as well as switch out on opposing 3’s.

There were two Jordan Murphys last season. The first was a middling player who struggled with fouls and forced bad shots on offense. The second was a ferocious player on both ends who played like a first team All-Big candidate.
