Ultimately, the Denver Nuggets will go as far as Nikola Jokiu0107 takes them. However, while the All-Star center is the driving force of Denver’s offense, even the best players need support from time to time. Enter Jamal Murray. The third-year point guard is capable of carrying the Nuggets’ offense from time to time, something the Nuggets would love to have happen on a regular basis in the playoffs.
While consistency continues to be an area Murray is working on, over the past week he produced when the Nuggets needed him. As the Denver went 2-2 with wins over the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder, Murray knocked down his shots at a high rate, created quality offense for others and hit clutch shots.
