Keegan Murray has faced a challenging 2024-25 NBA season with the Sacramento Kings, struggling to meet the expectations set for a fourth overall draft pick. Averaging just 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, his efficiency has notably declined, marked by a career-low true-shooting percentage of 54.9%. Despite showing flashes of improvement in February and early March, his inconsistency remains a major concern.

The addition of DeMar DeRozan appears to have complicated his role, leading to a series of single-digit scoring games that have frustrated fans and analysts alike. If Murray can't transform these recent promising performances into sustained production, he risks being labeled a solid role player rather than the star the Kings initially hoped for.
