2. F Trey Murphy, Virginia

The 3-point shooting was a disaster for the Lakers during the 2020-21 season. They could not consistently beat teams from the 3-point line, as the Washington Wizards were the only playoff team that was worse at shooting the ball than Los Angeles.

Adding some threats from the perimeter this offseason is imperative. There aren’t many better options when it comes to shooting the ball in this year’s draft class than Trey Murphy III.

Murphy was a sniper on the wing for Virginia, knocking down 43.3 percent of his 3-pointers last season. For his career between Rice and Virginia, he made 40.1 percent and 2.2 per game. That will translate well to the next level.

Murphy has the look of a legitimate 3-and-D prospect, standing 6’9.25 with a 7” wingspan. Given the defensive principles he learned at Virginia, you know he can get it done on that end of the court.

The Musketeers also have a notoriously slow pace of play, so there is some offensive potential that can be unlocked with Murphy as well.
