NBA Today: 5 players who can have a breakout season in 2019-20

#1 Jamal Murray

The Nuggets lost a heartbreaking Game 7 in a second-round exit to the Blazers.

This might come as a surprise to many, but only because Murray might have broken out already this past season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game during the regular season and made some crunch heart-wrenching plays down the stretch during the playoffs with his team's season on the line.

The Canadian's smooth jumpshot is highly capable of manifesting him into a 50+ percentage volume shooter with the ability to space the floor, and that's where his ceiling gets even higher.

"I think everybody knows what I'm capable of doing," Murray had said. "We have a lot of talent, the deepest team in the league. Best team in the league from one through 15. There's really no complaining from my end, I don't have time to show it [my talent] all the time."

If the Nuggets are able to give a clearer path for Murray in the upcoming season, he could very well see himself as one of the league's elite scoring guards.
