Player Info

Trey Murphy III has blossomed into one of the most efficient and dangerous three-point shooters in the league, a vital floor-spacing wing for the New Orleans Pelicans. Selected 17th overall in the 2021 Draft out of the University of Virginia, the 6'9" guard/forward from Durham, North Carolina, brought a reputation as a sharpshooter with excellent size and athleticism. Murphy quickly exceeded expectations, not only by hitting threes at an elite clip but also by improving his defense and ability to attack closeouts. His athleticism allows him to finish above the rim with authority, making him a perfect complementary piece alongside the Pelicans' stars. After a strong sophomore season, he was rewarded with a substantial contract extension. Murphy's game is defined by its smooth efficiency; he rarely forces shots and operates within the flow of the offense. As a key part of the Pelicans' young core, Trey Murphy III's continued development as a two-way threat is central to the team's championship aspirations.
