More on Murray and the G board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #3 overall, #2 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 32.4 (roughly round 4 in a 10-team league). We rank him #2, so he is a value at that price.
We project 43.4 points per game across an expected 78 games — approximately 3385 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 35.6 and 51.2 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #2 in projected scoring.
Based on 2025-26 production, Jamal Murray finished #3 in 9-cat and #4 in 8-cat leagues by per-game z-score value, versus #3 in points formats. Low turnovers make him even more valuable when they count against you.
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 86% of games, with a floor of 25.2 and a ceiling of 58.4 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 18% of games and busted (under half his average) in 4%.
