Canadian guard Jamal Murray ready to spark Denver Nuggets offence
CALGARY — Jamal Murray’s college coach predicted the Canadian would lead the NBA in rookie scoring this season. Murray comes armed with the confidence to do so.
“I know I can score. Everybody knows I can score,” Murray said Monday in Calgary.
“I know I’m one of the best scorers in the league. I’m one of the best rookies here, but other than that, no pressure.”
The teenager made his NBA pre-season debut in Canada as his Denver Nuggets opened their exhibition schedule Monday night against the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Saddledome.
