Versatile UNH guard with proven scoring flashes
Murphy gives New Hampshire a usable backcourt piece who has already shown he can score in stretches, rebound his position, and handle a steady minute load; in the 2021-22 season at UNH, he averaged 5.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game, with a career-high 26 points, while ESPN lists him at 5.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game on 37.6% shooting. [1][2][5] What makes him interesting is the blend of size for a guard and a history of bigger outing games, plus a background that includes a strong high-school résumé and multi-year college experience, which suggests a player who can plug into rotation basketball rather than needing the ball to be useful.
