Jamal has a plan and has the ability to make his play a reality.

One night after he announced his college decision live on TSN, Murray kept a close eye on the NBA Draft, where six recently departed Kentucky Wildcats were drafted.

Amongst those Kentucky players was Karl-Anthony Towns, a 7'0 centre who was selected first overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Trey Lyles, the third Wildcat selected after Willie Cauley-Stein, became the latest player to join a growing group of Canadians in the NBA.

Murray has an opportunity to join that group in the near future, possibly as soon as next year. When it came down to choosing his college program, Murray made his final decision between Oregon and Kentucky. The opportunity to reach the NBA - amongst other influences including proximity to hometown of Kitchener, Ontario – was enough to sway him to Kentucky.
