The 19-year-old Murray is coming off a freshman season in which he averaged 20 points a game — the highest scoring average for a Wildcats player under coach John Calipari. The 6-foot-4 Murray also had 113 3-pointers, the second-most in NCAA history for a freshman. The only freshman who had more was Steph Curry (122).
Denver has two more selections in the first round with Houston's spot at No. 15 — courtesy of the Ty Lawson deal — and the No. 19 pick via Portland.
