Jamal Murray has consistently performed well as a starting point guard in the NBA, averaging 19.0 points and 5.1 assists since his second year. However, his availability has been a concern, with limited games played in recent seasons.
To address this, the Denver Nuggets signed former MVP Russell Westbrook to provide depth and leadership off the bench. Head coach Michael Malone praised Westbrook's ability to step in when Murray is unavailable, highlighting the positive impact he has had on the team.
