Keegan Murray is a skilled, lanky forward capable of shooting, scoring, and playmaking. He’s a versatile, cerebral defender with good instincts for jumping passing lanes and helping from the weak side. He’s smooth and fluid with the ball in his hands, equally capable of rising and firing over defenders off the dribble or taking it to the rim, where he finished 73% of his attempts.
Murray is a late bloomer and was not highly-recruited in high school. Keegan and his twin brother, Kris, have fueled their intense workouts with a competitive sibling rivalry. From Rick Brown at Sports Illustrated:
One of the reasons Keegan’s game has grown is because of the intense sibling rivalry he has with his twin brother, Kris, who also signed with the Hawkeyes when his brother did and is also expected to play a significant role on this year’s team.
