Sam Yip: Trey Murphy on why he decided to take on a leadership role with @TheNBPA: I had two great vets that were very instrumental in my basketball career. And they were on the executive board, CJ [McCollum] being the former president. And they were just like, you fit what we would need. For a while, I was just like, I dont think Im ready for that. I want to make the main thing the main thing, worry about basketball, worry about getting a good foundation. And Garrett [Temple], it was two people that were trying to nominate me, and I just felt like I was called to do it, so it was my job to answer the call. I think the thing is Im able to talk to people. I voice my opinions very well, and I look at things very differently than a lot of players. Just mainly because I didnt know for sure I was going to be in the NBA growing up. Ive had every role. Like Ive been the guy that didnt play my rookie year. Ive been the guy that just came off the bench. Then the guy has just been a starter, and now Ive got to point where Im one of the better players on the team. So I just have different perspectives on different things.x.comThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Trey Murphy on joining NBPA leadership: 'I just felt like I was called to do it'
