Player Evaluation - Jamal Murray: the makings of a future star

Jamal Murray had a great sophomore season for the Denver Nuggets. After showing flashes of what he could be during his rookie year, Murray took off in a larger role this year. Averaging 16.7 points per game as the starting point guard, he became one of the leaders on a 46-win team in just his 20-year-old season.

16.7 points on 50.2% shooting, 37.8% from behind the arc, and 90.5% from the free throw line is rare for a 20-year-old. Actually, it’s never been done in the history of the NBA by someone his age or younger.
