Murphy was drafted third overall by the Austin Spurs in the 2014 D-League Draft. Murphy spent his rookie season playing for three different teams before getting traded to the Cavaliers in the offseason. The 24-year-old was waived by Cleveland before the season started and he will now start his 2014-15 campaign in the D-League. However, he may ultimately get called up by an NBA team in need of depth on their bench.
