Only if he called his shot and told the other team the play.

Can we hire Keegan’s dad to replace B-Jax?

Listening to the whole interview now. Kenyon is the best.

here is the whole thing. For those who don’t have time to listen:
1) Kenyon said the kings were Kris’ first interview at the combine
2) he also said that he thinks that he would like the boys to be on the same team but believes they could reach their potential away from each other
3) said he knows more about where Kris might go than the mocks. Sort of hinted there are a few teams drafting ahead of the kings that are very interested.
4) was super honest about Keegan. Says he was better than expected his rookie year. Thinks he is going to explode in year two. Says he was a guard for most of his life and has ball skills
5) working out with Fox a lot this summer
6) has gotten stronger and is currently at 220. Maybe this answered the slim down or bulk up question @SacTownKid
lots of great stuff in the interview

In a landscape where NBA dads basically make the news for negative things most of the time, so refreshing hearing Kenyon anytime he talks. Perfect role model of how to be a pro sports dad.

NEWS: Iowa's Kris Murray has been invited to the NBA draft's green room, a source told ESPN. Murray will decline his invite and watch the draft at home with his family instead. pic.twitter.com/AjPWr7pUAz

Doing the cameramen a favor by sparing them the embarrassment of accidentally filming Keegan instead of Kris when the pick comes in

Now that sounds like a Murray, haha. Love the humility of this family. So refreshing.

The Kings value Keegan Murray in the same tier as Sabonis/Fox. I would be stunned if he was traded.
— Cameron Salerno (@cameronsalerno1) June 21, 2023
Excellent news. As he should be; you have to wait and see how he develops on his stellar rookie year and that shooting potential. He's the best hope the Kings have of vaulting into a top 5 team from the current 12ish range they currently are in.

Keegan shoots righty, Kris shoots lefty... 👀

I know they’re identical twins but Keegan looks like he might be a little taller than Kris in this picture. Certainly has a little more muscle on his frame (praying I don’t have the guys flipped)Back in Iowa and got a great workout in w/ the boys today. Draft day is almost here and the excitement is building. Can’t wait to see where my guy ends up going. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough! 💯 #NBADraft #NBA pic.twitter.com/iUbZe74osC

Kris is listed at 212 and I think Keegan is at 220. I think Kris might be a bit taller but who knows

Kris looks maybe 1/4" taller, but Keegan has a more muscular frame (from this pic).
Isn't Kris watching from at home instead of attending the draft?
Damn! What a missed opportunity.

These tend to be the types of kids (and families) the KINGS have drafted and acquired in recent years. I’ll bet whomever McNair drafts tonight (if they don’t draft then trade to another team) will check most the same boxes as De’Aaron, Tyrese, Davion, HB, Domas, and Keegan.

LOL Keegan and Kris dressed like they decided to split a single suit between the two of them

Keegan looks clean but he does have more money. Nice to see he was telling the truth about having a little swag lol.

Interesting question is, had Murray slid one more pick past Portland — would we have picked him or still made this whatever trade with Dallas?
Interesting to ponder….
I'm glad it didn't happen. We would have lost our crap if Kris was selected and then traded.

Feel like Kris sliding is the only reason we held onto our pick as long as we did.
