Despite a slow start to the season (2 points in his first 4 games), Jamal Murray has really stepped up his game for the Denver Nuggets. With a strong finish to the month of November, the former Kentucky Wildcats star was awarded with the first Western Conference Rookie of the Month Award of the season.
Averaging 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the season, Murray has become a real weapon for his young, struggling Nuggets team. Shooting nearly 42% from 3-point range for the season, Murray scored at least 18 points in 4 of the last 6 games in the month of November.
