Jamal Murray vs. Steph Curry

Yes, I know Curry is better than Murray. That is not what I am getting at from these match ups.

What I am looking at is how well our personnel can fare against the five stars. Murray is very reminiscent of a younger Steph Curry and his ceiling certainly reflects that.

He can almost match the offensive firepower when he gets hot and is a deadly three point shooter. However, Curry is not a three time champion for no reason and in my opinion, was robbed of Finals MVP this past season.

Curry will still most likely out play Murray for the season or two, but it will certainly be a challenge going up an evolving Jamal Murray.
