The challenge for Coby is does he have another level? Basically can he replicate what Murray does in the playoffs? The floor is regular season Murray and the ceiling is playoff Murray.
Lately, Coby's level jumping has been more a downward leveling off to his historical norms. I'm not going to overreact to his last 15 games, like people did to his roughly 15-game surge. He's a passable starting guard, but I still think his best role is as a microwave scorer.

Strongly disagree. To me, Coby's floor is now a 20/5/5 point guard on elite shooting with solid playmaking and defense.
The next step will be ironing out his inconsistencies.
A player's best season does not equate to his floor. It's possible this is the best he'll ever be, and therefore 20/5/5 would be his ceiling. I can see him maintaining 20/5/5 moving forward, but I honesty can't see him getting
too much better than that, and I could also see him reverting back to like 15-17 PPG.
Coby has never achieved elite shooting in his life, not even now during his breakout season, so not sure how elite shooting could be his floor.
His ceiling is probably slightly to moderately better than he's played this year, while his floor is realistically a good solid starter or elite 6th man. It's kind of been a tale of two seasons for Coby this year and his play has tailed off since the ASB. Maybe his ascension was a fluke or maybe it was legit and he just needs to become more consistent.
I'm optimistic, but not overly so to the point where I believe 20/5/5 is his floor since he's only achieved that once in 5 years with notable inconsistency during that 20/5/5 year.
