Sacramento Kings Season Could Rest On Keegan Murray’s ‘Star Potential’

On Friday, Warriors star Klay Thompson said what many around the NBA had been thinking for the past year or so. Keegan Murray, the sweet-shooting 23-year-old forward who has started all but two of the 82 games he has played since entering the league last season for the Sacramento Kings, is already good, and it’s only his second NBA season.

Murray had 16 points and seven rebounds in the Kings loss to Golden State on Friday, on a relatively inefficient 6-for-16 shooting, going 3-for-11 from the 3-point line. But coming off a year in which he averaged 12.2 points on 45.3% shooting, including 41.1% from the 3-point line, there are big things expected for Murray.
