Picking seventh overall in this summer’s draft the Denver Nugget were able to grab the guy they had at No. 3 on their board. Denver drafted Jamal Murray as a combo guard who can play both the one and the two, someone who can begin to place a band-aid over their team 3-point percentage which at 33.8 percent was 26th in the league last season and another creator off their bench who can take some pressure off Will Barton.
The doubters across the league made their concerns about Murray known, and rightfully so.
Murray wasn’t an elite NBA athlete.
