Murphy's 50/40/90 shooting season at Virginia in 2021 stands as one of the most efficient single-season performances in college basketball history, a feat achieved by only a handful of players before him. That season, he set the University of Virginia record for three-point percentage (43.3%, minimum 100 attempts). In the NBA, he finished second in the league in three-point percentage in 2023, cementing his reputation as an elite shooter. His rapid development from a three-star recruit to a first-round draft pick and now a core player on a $112 million extension is a testament to his work ethic and skill. Pelicans fans and analysts alike view him as one of the top young wings in the game, with his combination of shooting, athleticism, and defensive versatility making him a rare commodity in the modern NBA.
