Jamal Murray is having a terrific rookie season and has forced his way into Michael Malone’s rotation despite the Nuggets having a bit of a logjam in the back court. His hot shooting and quick release make him a big threat on the offensive end of the court and help the Nuggets create a lot of gravity by using him off of weak side pindown screens.
One action that the Nuggets use t get Jamal Murray open is a play called “Elbow Boston.” The play begins by having Murray set a pindown screen for another three-point threat who comes off of Murray’s screen and a second screen, usually by one of Denver’s bigs.
