Jamal Murray could fill Evan Turner's role on Celtics bench, but with a much higher ceiling

The Celtics have the third pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

The third pick.

While the top two players have separated themselves from the pack, it's still the third pick. Michael Jordan was the third pick. Kevin McHale was the third pick. James Harden and Deron Williams were third picks. Adam Morrison was the third pick. Well, you get the point.

There's only one guy being considered in the three hole that blends upper echelon collegiate performance (20 pts/game) with youth (just turned 19 in February) and that's Jamal Murray. He's bumped up to the third spot in ESPN's latest Big Board.
