Kevin Murphy

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Kevin Murphy: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

At Tennessee Tech, Murphy hung 50 points on SIU Edwardsville in January 2012 — the highest single-game total by any Division I player that season. The Jazz drafted him 47th that summer, and he split his rookie year between Utah and the D-League's Reno Bighorns before departing in the 2013 three-team trade built around Andre Iguodala.

Few Jazzmen have played in more places since: France, Japan, China — where he once scored 67 points in a game — Croatia, the Philippines, Kuwait and Libya, plus a BIG3 MVP award in 2022. He plays today for Sagesse Club in Lebanon.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah took him 47th overall in 2012, re-signed him in August 2014 and waived him that October before the season.
