Trey Murphy, a 6-foot-9 wing for the Virginia Cavaliers, is widely considered one of the best sharpshooting prospects in this draft class.
Murphy was the only collegiate player who declared for the NBA draft to shoot at least 50.0 percent from the field, 40.0 percent from beyond the arc and 90.0 percent from the free-throw line. He was able to average 1.24 points per possession this past season, per Synergy, which ranked him in the 99th percentile among all D-I players.
He recently caught up with HoopsHype to discuss how he has evolved from a 6-foot-3, two-star recruit coming out of high school to a projected first-round pick in the 2021 NBA draft. Murphy also discussed how he studies basketball as well as his interest in music, fashion and plenty more.
