This is definitely an aggressive ranking of Murray, but I’m bullish on his future. He should fully have the reins in Mike Malone’s offense, and while next year will be his third season in the NBA, he still doesn’t turn 22 until February – a reminder of just how young he was when he entered the league. Murray significantly increased his volume and efficiency last season, which is a rare skill. If he does that again this season, we could be looking at yet another emerging star point guard in a league full of them.
