2022 NBA Mock draft: Detroit Pistons land #1 pick again
2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #7
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Iowa / San Antonio Spurs. Keegan Murray. 29. Forward. 7. player
It’s hard to believe that Keegan Murray is only the third rated power forward on most people’s big boards, as he has been amazing for Iowa this season.
The 6-foot-8 forward can do a little of everything, as he is averaging more than 23 points, 8.2 rounds, two blocks and 1.3 steals per game.
The concerns about his 3-point shooting have somewhat been alleviated, as he is now over 36 percent for the season, though he projects more as a guy who will thrive in the mid-range and in transition.
He’s a high-IQ player and a versatile defender, so he will fit right in with the Spurs. The only knock against Murray is that he is already 21-years-old, so may not have as high a ceiling as some of the guys behind him, but his floor is much higher and he is a safe bet for the Spurs here.
