Jason Murphy went into his freshman year rated as one of the
Top 50 prospects in the country, Top 10 in the DMV, and was rated as the #2
center in the DMV. So far Murphy has
stayed true to form and done nothing to diminish those honors bestowed upon
him. In fact Murphey who kept the trend
alive of top rated DMV Prep players competing on the varsity level from day
one; is not only competing but thriving.
He is being considered the top player as freshman in all of Howard
Country where he attends Chapelgate Christian Academy.
Whereas detractors devalue the middle school ranking system,
the trend continues at a 75%+ clip of players noted in said ranking competing
on the varsity level and in the case of Murphy and the Top 10 contributing and
making an impact. If that isn't validation enough then the interest he is drawing from JT3 and Georgetown University should be.
When using the word impact, Murphy is without question Top 3
in the area and is vying for DMV Preps Freshman of the year. At 6’9 his combination of size, length, and
bounce is off the charts. He's got a massive, yet still mobile, frame and can
go up to catch lobs. He not only runs the floor well for a guy his size but
also has relatively good agility, allowing him to patrol the lane at a wide
radius with his shot-blocking ability. He's similarly active on the glass and
consequently able to rebound out of his area. Offensively, he's a terrific
finisher around the rim and starting to show an instinct for passing. His physical tools are off the charts and are
the basis for his tremendous upside. While he needs to continue to develop his
muscle and skill, he's the type of guy who is only just beginning to scratch
the surface of his potential.
Murphy is no hype; and if see is believing enjoy the show
