The Pelicans selected Murphy last night with the 17th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Considered one of the best shooters in the Draft, the 6'9"Murphy shot 50% overall last year and 43% from three-point range.

The Pelicans finished out their draft by taking Alabama's Herbert Jones at number 35.
