I think we are giving Jokic too much credit for Murray's play. I also believe that Murray was headed for superstar status before the injury. We all remember the bubble and how well he played. I do agree that he is hard to rank but this past playoffs he dominated while be gamed played against and double teamed. We should expect nothing but Superstar ascendance for Murray. Lauri just isn't there.I mean Lauri is a near 7' who just averaged 26 ppg and made the ASG. Murray still hasnt been an All-Star.
Ranking Murray in general is very tough because I think everyone recognizes he is as good as he is because of Jokic, but he also is probably held back by Jokic in the raw numbers department. So it's kind of a weird dynamic, but if I was starting a team, I'd take Lauri over Murray 10/10 times.
Murray has a higher ceiling then Lauri. So for me i'll go with the Superstar potential 10/10, Murray's has a little Mamba in him.
Back to the thread topic I'm torn on if Dame is the player to give us to that championship level. Some of the arguments are compelling.
