Keegan Murray became Iowa’s first NBA first-round draft pick since 1998 Thursday night when he was selected fourth overall by the Sacramento Kings. He averaged 23.5 points and 8.7 rebounds during an All-America sophomore campaign last season.
He came to the Hawkeyes in 2020 after a prep school year at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Fla. Before that, Murray was an all-state player for Cedar Rapids Prairie. He’s the first Cedar Rapidian picked in the draft since 1996.
