"Murphy, who has never shot worse than 36% from three for a full NBA season, would immediately become the Raptors' best volume shooter. Having someone like him in the lineup would immediately create more space for Scottie Barnes and the rest of the Raptors' core pieces to operate."
"The Raptors made 14 of their 44 attempts. Half of those makes came from role players and reserves, as Ingram, Barnes, Barrett, and Quickley combined to shoot 7-26. Several players are currently struggling to make threes."
"Murphy just showed the Raptors first-hand why he could be a massive difference-maker for this team. He led the Pelicans to a 122-111 win over the Raptors, outscored all of the Raptors' core pieces with 28 points, and hit a game-high five 3-pointers."
The Raptors struggle significantly with three-point shooting, ranking 26th in percentage and 25th in attempts. Recent losses demonstrate this weakness, with role players and reserves accounting for half their three-point makes while core players underperform. Trey Murphy III, proposed as a trade target, recently scored 28 points with five three-pointers against Toronto, showcasing the impact he could provide. Murphy maintains consistent volume shooting with a career low of 36% from three, making him an elite perimeter threat. Acquiring Murphy would immediately elevate the Raptors' offensive spacing and create opportunities for their core players like Scottie Barnes.
