Denver Nuggets: Top 10 NBA Draft picks in franchise history

7. Jamal Murray (SG) — No. 7 pick in 2016 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Nuggets): 163 GP, 13.3 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.7 APG, 0.8 SPG, 0.3 BPG, 1.7 TOV, 43.2 FG%, 89.8 FT%

It doesn’t matter that he’s only just wrapped up his sophomore season. It’s clear to see that Jamal Murray is destined for stardom in the NBA.

Right now, Denver has given him the role of primary ballhandler, taking him away from his natural position. That hasn’t stopped him from thriving. Murray isn’t much of a facilitator, but he keeps his turnovers down and plays under control more often than not.

He has more of a scorer’s mentality with an aggressiveness to match. His outside shot is already good enough to keep defenses honest, and his free throw shooting should be among the league leaders for years to come.

Murray’s crowning moment came in the 2017 Rising Stars Challenge, where he showcased the full range of his skills en route to garnering the MVP award.

To go along with his MVP trophy, Murray has had multiple 30-point outbursts during his short stint in the league, flashing the potential that has made many predicting multiple All-Star appearances in his future.

He may not be a household name, but just wait. Murray is sure to make his place in these rankings seem silly with time.
