I'm getting more enthused about Murphy.  I think he has a chance to be a
better version of Austin Croshure.  He can stroke the jump shot when
"Toine is on the box but he is also an effective rebounder at 6'11".
There is concern about his footspeed, but the rules change may benefit him
greatly since he is an excellent team defender. Wouldn't mind seeing the
Cs snag him with our second pick.
