The Nuggets dropped their balls on the table and gave 21 year old PG Jamal Murray a 5 year, $170 million max extension. This is a ballsy move, as Murray has been inconsistent throughout his career, but has shown flashes of potential. I hope Tim Connelly knows what he's doing, because signing the young guy to a max who hasn't shown that he is an All-Star can backfire pretty massively (See Porter, Otto and Wiggins, Andrew). I feel like the Nuggets could have waited one more year to make the decision, before his RFA next year, but the Nuggets must have felt comfortable that Murray is the guy.
He posted career highs in ppg (18.2), apg (4.8), and rpg (4.2). While that is all great, Murray also regressed in multiple categories this season, including FG%, 3Pt%, and FT%. This could be due to taking more shots, but it isn't what you would like to see from a player who is making $22 million more than your First Team All-NBA Center.
Only time will tell, but I love Jamal Murray. He's a killer and he has developed a great two man game with Jokic.
