It’s early, but the Sacramento Kings appear to have a star in the making.
Keegan Murray, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, made his debut at the California Classic Summer League for the Kings this Saturday night.
The former Iowa star shined under the bright lights. Murray scored 26 points, shooting 10-of-14 overall and 4-of-5 from three, in addition to eight rebounds.
It looks like the Kings made the right choice.
