Denver Nuggets
Juan Hernangomez, Jamal Murray
Juan Hernangomez and Jamal Murray have both been making contributions to the Nuggets in their first season. Hernangomez played internationally on a team and for Spain’s national team. While he wasn’t on the Olympic team, it’s still valuable experience.
Both players will likely contribute more as their careers continue since they’ve already proven what they can do at the NBA level.
Hernangomez is averaging 13.5 minutes per game, but isn’t consistent when it comes to providing offense for the team. However, he can stretch the four and knock down the three as we saw him do in the Nuggets win against the Warriors earlier this season.
Murray has some skills, but comes off as a very inconsistent player. He’s playing a good amount of minutes and his stat line can look pretty sporadic from game to game.
