Jamal Murray

Wow, what a start for Murray.

More from Nugg Love

Jamal dropped 18 points, draining an impressive 8-of-12 from the field.

He splashed 2-of-3 from beyond the arc (NBA), and provided energy all night.

Aside from scoring, Murray tallied two rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 19 minutes.

After painfully slow starts in past seasons, Murray kicked things off in style. Jamal’s shooting sizzled, and he wasn’t afraid to attack offensively.

Ideally, the rebounding and assist numbers grow.

Jamal posted an excellent overall game, however, and his performance can be rated as excellent.
