The Somewhat Obvious

The somewhat obvious reason that Murray could be a superstar is because of his intangibles.

His size. Most guys in the NBA are tall enough to be able to play the 2 or the 3, but not Jamal Murray. Jamal Murray, who is 6’4″, has the ability to play the 1 and 2. With the way the NBA is leaning, Jamal Murray will most likely fall into a shooting guard for much of his career, but his ball handling is what will set him apart from other border-line superstar players.

The combination of his handles and size makes him a coveted player for the Nuggets, and this dynamic duo of attributes could also help him turn him into dynamic superstar.

Again, there is not one player on that superstar list that can not handle the ball like a point guard. Therefore, Jamal Murray again fits the mold.
