Intro: Latik Murphy (2019)
Morton 2019 shooting guard Latik Murphy played well with his high school team during June and was outstanding at Summer Jam with the Illinois Mustangs. He is a powerful guard that was aggressive taking it to the hoop off the bounce. Particularly effective working on the baseline for drives and hitting jumpers. Strong bodied wing that is powerful finishing in the lane. Hit a deep three, but was streaky shooting it.
How did July go with the Mustangs?
“It has gone well. I enjoy playing with them being my high school guys.”
He talked about essentially playing with his high school team on the travel team circuit.
“It is different because I have played with them for all four years. We have chemistry.”
What does he do well?
“I like to shoot a lot. I can handle it. I like to get my teammates involved.”
Murphy doesn’t have much recruiting interest at this time. After the way he played in July we would expect that to change!
