When your name is Trey, you basically have to be good at shooting threes. Okay, well, **Trey Murphy III** is actually named Kenneth, but the point stands. The second-year Virginia product flashed the 3&D potential he was drafted to provide in his rookie year, and his game has [expanded greatly](https://youtu.be/YtXjzdPI6Rw) in his sophomore campaign.
Averaging 13 points on 40% shooting from three and 94% from the free-throw line, Murphy’s scoring ([not just from deep](https://flight.beehiiv.net/v2/clicks/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PVB2NmEyOEVVY1BBIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6IjdkMjZlMDY1LWY3NzEtNDZmYy04YWUzLWIwMDkyYWIxZjBlNSIsInB1YmxpY2F0aW9uX2lkIjoiZTM4N2EwOTQtZDFlNS00MmQ5LTllMDEtOTI1ODQ4ZTVlMGVhIiwidmlzaXRfdG9rZW4iOiI2ZDM5NzJjMi03ZjliLTQ1NmMtOWRmNi03YWFmYzU1Mjg5ZmUiLCJpYXQiOjE2NzA4NjYyMjAuNjgsImlzcyI6Im9yY2hpZCJ9.z36W9uGN5FOusAZerpeNd30Cz1fBJZeQho3QC2RD0lQ)) and length are both instrumental on a New Orleans team with an intriguing mix of offensive firepower and defensive stoppers.
New Orleans’ Big 3 of **Williamson**, **Ingram**, and **McCollum** are tough to stop on the offensive end of the floor. But when the Pels’ defense falters a bit, having guys like Murphy and **Herb Jones**—who have both started at points this [season](https://enjoybasketball.beehiiv.com/p/new-leader-western-conference)—is crucial.
