6-8 UTEP forward with real shooter’s touch and veteran polish
Brent Murphy’s profile is that of a long, skilled forward who brings uncommon perimeter shooting for his size; UTEP’s 2004-05 preview called him a great shooter and noted he had improved his body and strength, while the 2005-06 guide said he was an excellent three-point shooter at 6-8 and had hit over 40% from deep in his Miner career. His career numbers show efficient finishing and touch, with 43.6% field-goal shooting and 44.4% from three in college stats, so he’s the kind of forward who can stretch the floor and fit beside more interior-heavy frontcourt players.
