Player Overview: Jamal Murray is a tall point guard who established a reliable jump shot in college during his time at Kentucky. Murray started in the NBA as an underrated point guard due to Kentucky preferring to play him at shooting guard. Kentucky may have done this because he was tall for a point guard at the time and had an efficient jump shot which was more suited to the shooting guard position. Murray played shooting guard during his first season in Denver likely due to Denver being influenced by Kentucky. By his second season, Murray had shifted to point guard and was developing as the playmaker who would form a formidable duo with Nikola Jokic. Murray had three healthy NBA seasons at Denver before starting to struggle with injuries. Murray remained healthy enough to help steer the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA Championship.
