Jamal Murray is off to a great start this season, something he hasn’t been able to do in past years. All of the focus, rightfully, is on his stellar play out of the gate, but it has covered up the underlying reality that the Nuggets still go as Murray goes.
Yes, we’ve seen a revamped bench and a deeper roster make an impact; we saw Tim Hardaway Jr. score 20 points off the bench the other night in a win, and we’ve actually gotten competent center play when Nikola Jokic rests.
We’ve also seen an Aaron Gordon 50-burger and more improvement from Christian Braun and Peyton Watson.
