On Monday evening, NBA Summer League opened up in California, and the Sacramento Kings are facing off against the Golden State Warriors.
During the first half, Keegan Murray had an impressive dunk that is going viral on social media.
Murray drove straight from half-court to the basket and finished off the dunk.
The former Iowa star was the fourth pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting an impressive 41.1% from the three-point range in 80 regular season games.
He played a pivotal role in the Kings making the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2006 season.
They finished the regular season with a 48-34 record, which got them the third seed in the Western Conference.
In the first round of the Playoffs, the Kings took Steph Curry and the Warriors to Game 7 but ultimately fell short of eliminating the 2022 NBA Champions.
That said, the season was still a significant success, as they proved they are among the top teams in the west.
In past years, the Kings have had poor success in the NBA Draft, but Murray appears to be an excellent addition to the roster and was an elite three-point shooter as a rookie.
With how young their core players are, the Kings should be expected to be even better next season.
Murray finished the Playoffs with averages of 9.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 37.5% from the three-point range.
