Aaric Murray is Texas Southern’s old-school paint problem, not a volume-stat mystery
In the 2013-14 season, Aaric Murray gave Texas Southern a true offensive fulcrum: he averaged 21.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, and even dropped 48 in a win over Temple[6][11][15]. His value goes beyond the box score—at 6-foot-10, he brought rim protection, interior scoring, and enough skill to score both inside and out, which made him a nightmare to single-cover[11][12]. The caution flag is his rocky career path and transfer history, but if a team needed a highly productive senior center with proven shot-blocking and go-to scoring, he was absolutely a fit[2][6][12].
