Jamal Murray is our newest Canadian and from all indications he is going to be special too. He was Born February 23, 1997 (age 18), Kitchener, Canada and looks to be a consensus top ten recruit.
It is said he is regarded as a future first-round NBA draft pick due to his versatility and the ability to protect and handle the basketball which is a good sign.
