3. Dejounte Murray
Experience: Freshman Size: 6-foot-5, 170 pounds
Last Season: 16.1 points; 4.4 assists; 6.0 rebounds; .416 FG%; .288 3P%
The only freshman on this list, Dejounte Murray may have as much upside as any point guard in this draft class not named Chris Dunn. Honestly, he’s an Emmanuel Mudiay-light.
He’s got the size, the athleticism, the court vision, the defense and the questionable jumpshot. But is that enough to keep the Nuggets away?
In the mid-first round, the Nuggets could end up getting a top-10 talent, but would that mean much if he’s playing the exact role Mudiay already plays? Do you want two point guards with such similar skill sets or should Denver diversify?
