Kris Murray, the forward for the Portland Trail Blazers, is carving out his own path in the NBA shadow of his twin brother, Keegan. Selected 23rd overall in the 2023 draft, the 6'8" forward from Iowa brings a similar versatile and intelligent skill set to the wing. Like his brother, Murray is a skilled shooter with deep range and a high release, capable of playing as a floor-spacing forward. He is a savvy cutter and moves well without the ball, finding seams in the defense. Defensively, he uses his length and anticipation to be a disruptive force. Now with the rebuilding Trail Blazers, Murray has been given the opportunity to expand his role, showing flashes of secondary playmaking and improved shot creation off the dribble. His high basketball IQ and professional approach make him an ideal building block for Portland's future as they develop their young core.
