2012-13

  • Thrived in first full season in Denver with a career high 16.2 points per game
  • Shot 37.3 percent from distance and a very solid 82.2 percent from the line
  • Suffered a devastating knee injury April 4 that cost him nearly two seasons

2015-16

  • Will likely need to be the Nuggets’ leading scorer at around 20-22 PPG
  • All-Star potential if he thrives in Michael Malone’s system as the true No. 1 scoring option
