Tonight’s the night! The 2023 NBA draft is here. After all sorts of speculation, the future is now for the NBA’s next wave of stars.
Just like his twin brother before him, Kris Murray is about to embark upon those NBA draft waters this evening. Widely presumed as a first-round NBA draft pick, Murray will find out his professional destination this evening.
One thing is for sure. The Cedar Rapids product is going to make some NBA franchise very happy tonight and going forward. A 6-foot-8, 220 pound forward, Murray lit up the stat sheet this past season with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Murray finished the 2022-23 men’s college basketball season by averaging 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. He shot 47.6% from the floor and 33.5% from 3-point range.
All of those numbers earned Murray first-team All-Big Ten recognition from both the Big Ten media and the Associated Press. He was also a consensus third-team All-American.
Tonight’s NBA draft will take place from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., beginning at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN and ABC. Without further ado, let’s take one final look at where some of the experts nationally think Murray might wind up.
