a veteran Drake forward who brings size, shooting, and winning experience
Murphy has been a proven, versatile forward for Drake, posting 10.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the 2020-21 season and 10.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 2018-19, with enough perimeter touch to matter as a floor-spacer. He’s the kind of experienced wing/forward who gives a roster toughness, shot-making, and lineup flexibility—plus he was a key piece in Drake’s 2021 NCAA Tournament run. The caution flag: his career included a knee injury that limited him to five games in one season, so health and availability are part of the evaluation.
