Jamal Murray is the peanut butter to Nikola Jokic’s jelly. The two players have a mind-meld that has rarely been seen before between two players. But what about Jokic and Aaron Gordon? What about Jokic and Christian Braun?
The DNVR Nuggets podcast team scores every Nuggets rotation player based on how well they fit alongside Nikola Jokic in “Jokic-ball.” And examine whether Calvin Booth’s defining trait is his ability to find such players to add to the roster.
Plus, we continue our crusade for Jokic’s claim to being the best player of all time.

If Joker will ultimately be the GOAT, doesn’t that make him the GOAT today?
I would say Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are the X-factors to Denvers offense. AGs shooting weakness means that if you have the size you can clog the paint and that alone stifles Denvers offense, because most of their successful attempts come from either Jokic as a Rollman or post-up or somebody cutting and an assist.
The nuggets take a decent amount of mid-range shots as a result, but the FG% sucks and that is either because Jamal is struggling (If Murray is struggling we have no alternative ballhandler. Nuggets ballhandlers in Pick n Roll score something like 0.8 PPP) or because its a bail out shot. If they actually run plays for Jokic, KCP, etc… their mid range FG% is actually decent.
The other way to circumvent AGs shooting weakness would be corner threes by KCP or MPJ. They are very efficient with it, but I guess that they are guarded well, because they dont get to shoot that often from the corner compared to other teams.
Idk if it's Murrays shot selection, because more often than not I feel like he takes very tough shots. If it is, that would probably be the way to fix the problem. Otherwise we have to cross our fingers that Murray heats up.
EDIT: For some reason transition offense is a problem this season e.g.: Missed layups, transition threes, etc… That could also make a difference. Season is still young. Anything can happen.

Jokic 🐐🏀🔥
Dude looks funny with a mustache 🤣 no hard feelings though
Harrison you need to chill, bud.
Harrison and Vogt trying to play straight man to Adam's just wild misuse of numbers was hilarious
If AG is not a 11/10 instant unsubscribe
Joker is working out hard each game to play himself into shape
the hawk noise during the ad read is not ok bro😂
I respect Tim Legler a lot . His understanding of basketball is top notch . Great high IQ analyst. Unlike so many of the other morons who are on ESPN ..
Adam has no clue how to do ratings haha
Biggest thing about Jokic is not that he's doing everything, that also did westbrook, lebron or luka. It's the fact that he's look natural, do not choke the ball or forcing anything.
Mpj is not a better player than kcp. You can throw that out the window.
VOGT: Stache + Stubble. Go for it. Clean, controlled Stubble.
AG shot underrated…he gets open looks, he hits them good enough…
AG is a bad free throw shooter, when you are in the dunker spot and it's layups, dunks, plus and 1s, and you cost the team a lot of points and it allows the defender to help off a little more than they should because they can recover and foul
