Jamal Murray’s future with the Denver Nuggets has been solidified. The Kitchener, Ontario native recently signed a five-year contract extension that will allow him to grow and develop as a member of the Nuggets.
As Murray enters his fourth season in the league and comes off an impressive playoff run in which he averaged 21.3 points, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game, growth is exactly what will be expected from him. While Murray won’t be tasked with developing into Denver’s lead playmaker (there is a seven-foot Serbian big man who takes care of that responsibility), Murray will be depended on to, once again, be one of Denver’s top-two scorers.
