Monte Morris is Rising Quickly in the NBA

In Monte Morris’ second NBA season, he is getting his tryout with the Denver Nuggets. He is performing pretty well through the first games so far, in fact, he is a big reason for the Nuggets 4-0 start.

With Isaiah Thomas missing the beginning of the season with a hip injury, Morris has been the main backup point guard. In this role, he has earned 20 minutes a game. He is posting 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and .5 turnovers (surprise, surprise) per game.

However, his shooting has struggled to this point, Morris is only connecting on 32.
