Keegan Murray is a big, versatile 3-and-D forward and a foundational piece for the Sacramento Kings. The fourth overall pick in 2022 out of Iowa, he arrived NBA-ready — setting the rookie record for made three-pointers — and settled in as a reliable two-way starter who spaces the floor and defends multiple positions. His 2025-26 season was limited to 23 games by multiple ankle sprains, but he still averaged 14.0 points and 5.7 rebounds when available. At 6-foot-8 with a smooth catch-and-shoot stroke and the size to guard forwards, Murray is the kind of low-maintenance, high-fit forward every contender covets.

Did You Know?
Keegan and his twin brother Kris Murray both play in the NBA — an extremely rare feat. Their father Kenyon Murray also played college basketball at Iowa, making the Murrays a true basketball family.
Keegan grew up competing against Kris in everything, which coaches credit for the relentless competitive drive that makes him an elite finisher and defender.
He attended his father's alma mater Iowa and wore the same number, connecting three generations of Murray basketball at one program.
Murray was considered a mid-first-round prospect heading into the 2022 draft but his Iowa explosion pushed him to 4th overall — the Kings got a potential steal.
