The Iowa Hawkeyes have recently produced notable basketball talents in twins Keegan and Kris Murray. Keegan was picked fourth overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2022 NBA Draft, while Kris returned for another year and was selected 23rd by the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023.

However, Kris has struggled to find his footing in the NBA. In his rookie season, he averaged 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds over 62 games. Despite a promising college career, his role has diminished in his second year, logging only 13.6 minutes per game with 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds.
