He will easily make the Olympic team. I can see him sitting on Berian until 150 to go and them duking it out in the final!

Deceptively smooth quickness. He has a great shot at making the team. His tactical sense is super and keeps improving.
Only 4 guys with the Olympic standard in final? Right?

Deceptive quickness?? He's either quick or he's not. How exactly is it deceptive??
His tactical sense is normal. He was in the same position as half the field, but had superior *strength* to power past, where others couldn't. With that, he could've been in last @ 650m & still made the team. His strength was what was superior. Being in 5th with 150m left is not tactically superior- the strength is.
Props to him. I think this was actually a sizable pr for him and he did look smooth the whole way. What is his ceiling right now? Would he have contended with Brazier if he were running like he did at NCAA's? I have to doubt it, but I think that Murphy may be able to break 1:44 this year. This 800m team is better than we might have gotten with Symmonds, Solomon, and Brazier all out by the end of the first round. In a slow 800m final, Murphy could contend. Berian should make it pretty fast, though, assuming they don't do a waterfall start in the Olympic final.
If Murphy's running the 1500m (though apples to oranges), this 800m fitness sure doesn't hurt.
Very weak 800m team this year.
