His journey has helped Murray to feel a kinship with the Kings from the moment they drafted him. While it has been common for NBA agents to try to steer their prospective draft clients away from Sacramento in recent years, Murray wanted the challenge. “I just embrace the Kings’ situation,” Murray said. “My whole life through my basketball career, I’ve been challenged. Not knowing where I was going to go in college. My senior year of high school in April, I had no clue where I was going to go. So that was a challenge within itself. And I got to Iowa, was another challenge to be able to play. So, I know that I just like to get through challenges, be challenged and exceed through it.”
