per Marcus' blog before today's game:
Gophers freshman Jordan Murphy has nickname given to him by coach Richard Pitino, which probably is something he doesn’t want to stick. Pitino calls him “low-motor Murph.” murphyspain
The talented 6-foot-6 Murphy has flashes of being a formidable post presence, but it usually takes him awhile to get going. A good example was during Sunday’s 81-68 loss against Texas Tech in Puerto Rico. He was mostly a non-factor, but there was one play in the second half where Murphy just grabbed the ball under the basket and dunked on a couple defenders.
Everybody was like “Whoa, where did that come from?”
“He was like that in AAU, where he would float around a little bit and then all of a sudden just explode and do a monster dunk,” Pitino said. “You see it in our games. I always get on him. I call him ‘low motor Murph.’ We keep saying, ‘you got to be high-motor Murph.’ I think once he gets that he’s going to be a force.”
