Meet
Kevin Murphy
Posted by: Jazzed uponit on January 9th, 2013
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.Kevin Murphy was just recalled from the Reno Bighorns. I’m excited to get him back on the roster. He has done well and proven he deserves a spot in the NBA in my opinon. I really like his BBall IQ and being a 4 year college player adds some maturity to his game.

I think this is big news because it most likely the beginning of some Jazz FO movement. I think Burks is making a point that talent and athleticism, if used correctly can be a great asset to the team. Murphy can handle the ball pretty well. From what ive seen so far in college and pros is that his shooting is legit and he is a team player. Like a few others on J360 , I was a big advocate of getting Burks and Hayward to bring the ball up the court and take over the PG position. Or at least take Earl’s minutes.
Murphy is showing that he does a little of everything on the court, he is averaging 3.1 rebounds a game showing some hustle . Im not sure how many Jazz fans are high on him , but Im real excited to see him get some play time. I think hes got potential.

I think its mainly cause Marvin is going to miss 3 games with inflammation in his right knee.
I read that its cover for Marvin, as Derek said, and to allow him to see his wife and child in Atlanta. I was hoping it meant more but alas, from what i read, another spot on the bench.
I am glad they left him in the D-league for a few weeks. Did him some good. IF he can be a shooter and defender he will git in fine. He and Evans can have a skinny contest.
On another front looks like Virginia Beach is out of the running for the Kings. Rumor has Seattle is in. That being the case and all the divisions have equal teams would they stay in the Pac or move to the NW..Portland would be closer to the Pac so they might switch. A move ok must be made by Mar 1 in order for it to happen next year. Thoughts??
From the little I’ve seen of K-Murph, I really like the way his shot looks–he’s got a good stroke.
Seattle deserves a team, but it’s pretty sad to give them one that the Malooffools are running. The Joke that is DeMarcus Cousins is the perfect franchise player for that joke of a franchise. Selling it to new ownership, who then moved it to Seattle and were the Supersonics again would be way better.
Looks like a final. Kings sold to a Seattle group.
Im excited for sonics fans. They got robbed of a contending team. You gotta love supersonics over Kings any day
