If you ask the fans of New Orleans Pelicans who is their favorite player, most will call Zion Williamson, Herb Jones or Trey Murphy. After next season I expect that this list will shrink to one name, Trey Murphy, because many experts expect a breakout from All-Star level in the 2025-26 season. When a young player jumps to All-Star status, their love also does that from the fans.
One of these experts who is exceptionally high on a 25-year-old wing Veania alone
From athletics. In a recent episode of the Game theory podcastHe went praise a lot for the pelicans. He described him as someone who had a very good control over the game and played with a good pace, allowing him to expose defenders.
Vecenie continued singing Murphy’s praise and spoke about how his extremely balanced offensive game such as Schutter, Finisher, athlete and playmaker made it difficult for defenses to stop him.
During his fourth season in the NBA, Trey had an average of 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per match. Placing these averages would be a great peak for him and would enable Murphy to eliminate a long career in the NBA. However, there is very clearly the next level for Murphy to turn, and it can be scary for opposing teams. The presence of Brandon Ingram made us never see Trey a valid second option, but now with Bi Gone things are open to Trey. I think we are about to see the most aggressive version of Murphy.
Could Trey officially be an all-star next season?
During the NBA history there are many players who consider people as all-star talents who have not made the actual All-Star game. The first to come to me is former Pelicans guard CJ McCollum, who was a consistent snub during his time in Portland with the trail blazers. So the question is, Trey will follow in the footsteps of his former teammate or actually get the All-Star status
If I am 100% honest, I don’t know if he’s going to make it next season, because the forward place is loaded in the Western Conference. In addition to having to compete with top talent, the pelicans must also be elite to get two all-stars. We rarely see teams getting several all-stars, unless they are a top two seed, and Zion Williamson will probably get his third All-Star selection before Murphy gets his first.
Although it may not happen next season, with praise from NBA media members such as respected as Sam Vecenie, it shows that Pelican fans Trey Murphy and his All-Star potentially do not overhypt.
