Draft Projection: Top 5
What he’s good at: Being versatile, Jamal Murray basically has everything a potential franchise changing guard needs. He can shoot, has great vision and NBA scoring instincts. At 6-5, he can see over the defense and make his teammates better with his passing ability.
Murray is also great at changing speeds. He uses crafty moves, combined with a great jumper to terrorize the opposition. Murray’s all around offensive game should make him an essential lock for the top 5. Even if his name isn’t as household as Simmons’ is right now. Looking for a player that has the potential to be really good right away in the NBA, and also one that isn’t garnering a great deal of attention from the casual fan, Murray is your guy.
Just as is the case with many other players on this list, get in early on the Murray hype. It will come, at some point ahead of the 2016 NBA Draft.
