King Keegan

A breakdown of Keegan Murray's 188 record setting 3's

Look at all of the high percentages. From different spots, different coverage, different players. It's all good.

Here's to many more 3's from Keegan in a Kings uniform. Just getting started. pic.twitter.com/lzk5hzPG3b

My favorite part of this is how consistent Keegan's shooting is. He's maybe a bit better from the left corner (though it could be a small sample size) but he's shooting 40% from the right corner and (most importantly) from above the break.

Just so solid.

The most underrated thing about Keegan is that he has never missed the playoffs.

Ha! Nice.

Keegan will be up all night watching this one. Iowa women take down undefeated South Carolina to advance to the championship game. Just insane!

Keegan Murray is in fact tonight’s Defensive Player of the Game.

Murray said it was “a long time coming” after he last won the chain in December.

Of course, Murray didn’t wear it to the postgame presser.

“It’s too heavy.”

Keegan was hitting off balance 3s the like of I have never seen a rookie do. He hit a rhythm that was something special to see.

This game especially made me miss VF21. A 3pt barrage by Keegan like this in the 3rd would have brought the house down around here if she was still posting.

Imagine VF21 exuberantly rejoicing in rookie Murray's performance and Bricklayer laying in with Domas's dominance in the pivot.

The All Star team we are missing on the board....smh.

By far the the most impressive thing about Keegan recently is his effort on the boards. He's not pulling down Rodman numbers by any account but he's been keeping balls alive and really helping out there. That's winning basketball.

Keegan Murray 2P FG%:
Before All-Star Break: 48.7%
After All-Star Break: 62.3%

He's 2-of-3 (66.7%) from inside the arc so far tonight.

His 2P game is the evolution and next step for this team, and it's great to see him get going inside more.

That's my go-to as well. I knew I liked him for some reason. Don't knock it.

it’s good but you won’t find me in the Arnold Palmer is juice camp

I think this is a Midwest thing but I bet Keegan calls Milk “melk”

It cannot be stated enough how impressive it was that Keegan came in and contributed to a winning playoff team right away as a Rookie.

The Kings won 47 games in which he started, the 21st most in NBA history for a Rookie.

Not sure why it wasn't noted that he's in a tie? Look at the 47 win club. Not bad company with Cheeks, C-Webb and big Z.

 

[Tetsujin]

Look like his old man!! 😂

What Keegan didn’t get from his dad was his personality lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan's dad's latest podcast on how he and his wife made sure to never undermine their kids' coaches is another example of him being the Anti-Dadley.

It's also very hard to do. I can't say I have been perfect. As a parent of a future college athlete, there are times I get frustrated, angry, and disappointed in the coaching or decisions coaches have made regarding my son. But, you have to let the process play out, you have to encourage your child to block out the noise, focus on getting better and control what they can. Which is their own effort and attitude.

Pump your kid up, you are literally their biggest fan, but don't inflate their ego by telling them they are something they are not. It's a fine line.

It seems to me that is exactly what Kenyon did for his boys. He believed in them, he helped them, he gave them humility and instilled hard work. You literally could not ask for anything more from a parent.
