So much of the present and future of the Denver Nuggets centers around Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Having committed financially to both players for the foreseeable future, the focus will always be on them. The beautiful two-man game they play with each other throughout games and when the clock is running down is poetry in motion. Each player has characteristics that make the other better.
What generally gets lost in the shuffle is how to construct a team around those players, both when they are on and off the floor. It’s generally easy to fit players around the Murray-Jokic duo when both are on the floor.
