The Portland Trail Blazers selected Iowa forward Kris Murray with the 23rd overall pick in the NBA draft.
Murray started 29 games for the Hawkeyes in 2022-2023, earning consensus All Big-Ten and third team All-American honors. Now he joins his brother Keegan in the NBA as back-to-back first round picks.
Murray is just the 61st Hawkeye to hear his name called in the NBA draft, and its just the second time in the last 20 years a first round pick hailed from Iowa City.
