Jamal Murray joins Steph Curry as the 2nd player in NBA history to shoot 43% or better from 3 (min. 7 3PA per game) while averaging 25 or more points per game. He’s been having a historically efficient 3pt shooting season, and it has been flying a little bit under the radar.
Steph Curry has achieved this feat twice (15-16 and 18-19), and now Jamal Murray joins the exclusive club. Jamal is shooting 43.5% from 3pt range this season, which is the highest among players with at least 500 3PA. He currently holds the Nuggets’ franchise record for 3PM with 245 and counting.
He is averaging 25.4 PPG, 7.1 APG and 4.4 REB this season on 48.3%/43.5%/88.7% (all career-highs except for FT %). That makes for 62.2% TS. Does Jamal have a case for 1st team All-NBA with all the injuries, or is 2nd team a better fit?
