High school career
editMurphy led his middle school to a 75–0 record.[1] There was preseason speculation that he might start as a freshman who was at least 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) for Central Catholic Marianist High School in November 2011.[2] However, that December he came off the bench.[3] As a senior, he helped William J.
