Today's episode of the show, you've been waiting for it.

Finishing up the series on projecting best and worst-case scenarios for all the players.

Every episode for the last couple I've done, one starter, one reserve, and one end of bench player.

And this week, three very interesting ones.

For the starter and in the final segment, I'm going to take a look at Jamal Murray, who I think

is at the heart. I think you could probably say this is the year of Jamal Murray. Last year was the

year of Nikola Yokic. And I think you can make the case that the previous two years have been

the year for Yokic, but last year was the year that Yokic solidified and proved to everyone that he was,

you know, this dominant number one option on a contending team. Now the question is, is Jamal

Murray also of that caliber player? Is he an all-star? Is he a max player? Like, what exactly is he?

This is sort of a prove-it-year for him, even though he's proven a lot already in his young career.

It's a prove-it-year for him. And then, of course, in the middle section, I'm going to talk

about Michael Porter Jr. And you might ask, why is he in the section that I talk about people at end of bench?

Well, he's kind of a toss-up.

We don't know if he's going to be a bench guy, a starter, and out of the rotation.

All of that's on the board.
