Expert Analysis

Clayton Conover

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Murray is showing all the signs of a high usage playmaker with East, capable of scoring the ball on all three levels. One of the more versatile playmakers at his height, he stayed consistent in pressuring the rim, bringing quick footwork on pivot moves down low.

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Murray has found constant success while attacking downhill, becoming more comfortable as a facilitator from those circumstances. Effective leveraging his height advantage to see above the defense, his ability getting into the paint with East will be pivotal to their halfcourt production. Defensively, he competed both one on one or from the help side, alert at all times to contest attempts.

Taking advantage of Denver East’s staunch defense, Murray’s impact has played no small part in the program’s 7-4 record. Skilled taking taking advantage as a secondary playmaker, his quick first and fluidity rising up into jumpers make him a handful for help defense. His mobility make him a dynamic defender in space, particularly while rotating over for steals or blocks.

Robert Davis

Prep Hoops Scout

He was a player that was a force on the inside, coming away with multiple blocks on the day. He has a tight handle and can blow by defenders to get inside and score at the rim. He was also able to stretch the defense and knockdown some 3’s.
