Recently, the Development League Ignition Team ushered in a showdown with the Deer Herd, although the Ignition Team achieved a 6-point lead in the first quarter, but the Deer Herd Team, which ushered in the awakening in the last three quarters, finally laughed 103-93 to the end. In this ignition team, everyone is most familiar with the Chinese player Zeng Fanbo, in fact, in addition to Zeng Fanbo, there are two players who have also played in our CBA, in addition to the veteran Puerjet, the other is the "Murphy God" Kevin Murphy who makes Guangsha fans afraid.
Murphy started 26 minutes and finished with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-8 shooting, with a plus-minus of -7 being the worst of the team's starting Five Tigers. Not long ago, when the NBA encountered a shortage of employees, Murphy also wanted to use this east wind to return to the league, simply joined the development of the league's ignition team, but for the team to play these games, Murphy's performance can only be said to be decent, in these 4 games, Murphy in the playing time to 25.5 minutes, the average of only 12.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, such an ordinary data sheet, want to win the favor of NBA teams, basically hopeless.
Murphy, 31, who is 1.99 meters tall and has the standard forward swing man height, was picked by the Jazz with the 17th pick in the second round of the draft in the 2012 draft, and although he played 17 games for the Jazz that season, most of them played garbage time, averaging only a negligible 0.9 points in the case of only 3.1 minutes of playing time. After being abandoned by the NBA, Murphy also went to play for Strasbourg Club in the French League, and in 15 years, Murphy was selected by the Guangsha men's basketball team and became a substitute for Franklin who missed due to injury.
In the first game for Guangsha at that time (facing Sichuan), Murphy scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in 24 minutes of playing time, which was not bad, but in the subsequent game with Shanxi, Murphy played for 13 minutes, did not score a point, and the label of foreign aid was also ruthlessly on his body. In the 10 games he played for Guangsha, Murphy averaged only 18.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting as low as 10.9% from three-point range, completely failing to integrate into the team, and Guangsha eventually chose to cut him.
Unable to play in the CBA, Murphy continued to wander, during which he also briefly played for guangxi Weizhuang in the NBL, and later in the Croatian league. Now in his own years, if he wants to relaunch the impact on the NBA, at least this Warrior is indeed commendable, but in terms of reality, Murphy wants to return to the NBA, which is just his wishful thinking. In fact, a front-back swinger like Murphy, if he can strengthen his projection, can definitely find a world in other overseas leagues, but unfortunately, he has been limited by his weak outside projection over the years, and he has not been able to stay in a team for a long time, which has also led to him becoming a complete "prodigal player". Not surprisingly, after the end of the season in the development league, Murphy is going to continue to find a home for himself, but in any case, with the lessons learned from the previous experience in Guangsha, I believe that the CBA team is unlikely to throw an olive branch for him again.
