But on the court, to me, the difference was him not being a prolific three-point shooter because I think he's talented enough to be one.
I think Murray would often in the past, like catch and survey, prefer to dribble, get a bucket out of the mud.
But it's like the modern NBA, if you're as good as Jamal is, it just allows you to feast from the perimeter if you're willing and able.
And in a way, I almost think it's like kind of saved some of his lower body too, because not every single field goal has to be this like grueling turnaround through two guys thing.
I mean, obviously he's doing everything at a higher level this season, but the three point shooting part of it to me is a big part of the reason why he looks like such a more dynamic player right now.
Among all the other things we talked about, like conditioning and just mental approach and all of that.
This version of Jamal is so fun and so cool.
And you just have so much confidence in him delivering.
Yeah, I can't wait for the playoffs.
Me too.
One shorter than Nugget's record.
I think this is an important point, and Dev's made this in the past, actually.
He's pointed out that one of the underrated, difficult parts of Jamal's job is actually kind of having to suss that out right off the bat.
Is Yoke going to shoot 20 times tonight or not?
Do I have to?
And I think part of what happened is Yoke came back from the injury and it was a weird time.
And Yoke wasn't necessarily like applying himself as the identity of the team.
And I think Murray was thinking, oh, I take a step back now.
He's back.
And there was, I think, kind of this like disconnect of, oh, neither one of us are doing it.
