The Denver Nuggets understand that with the way the NBA is going, one thing is more important than all else: shooting.
And there may not be a prospect in this year’s draft that shoots the ball better than Jamal Murray, who the Nuggets selected with the No. 7 overall pick — sorry Buddy Hield.

I like Murray a lot, but I also REALLY like Gary Harris … we’ll see how it plays out #Nuggets

Murray at UK last season: 20 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 40.8 percent from the 3-point line #Nuggets

While Murray is not my favorite pick the #Nuggets did get a lights out shooter with a fantastic mindset. Great pick.

The Nuggets select Kentucky G Jamal Murray at No. 7. I'm a big Murray fan. He's No. 4 on my Big Board. Great… https://t.co/czOBH0BWa0

With Murray now in the fold, I wouldn't mind DEN trying to sell high on Barton.

Welcome home @BeMore27 Lets work!

Worst part about Murray coming to Denver is he's probably taking a pay cut by leaving Kentucky.

Jamal Murray, Welcome to the Denver Nuggets. Stoked Denver selected him!

Like idea of Murray pick. They've lacked reliable outside shooting for years. Nice core with Mudiay, Jokic and Murray. Need one become star
— Mike Evans (@MikeEvans1043) June 24, 2016
The Nuggets are the best young team that gets zero hype. I think Jamal Murray could play with either Emmanuel Mudiay or Gary Harris.

"Denver sounds good" – Murray #Nuggets

Don't follow #NBA as closely other leagues. But really like Jamal Murray pick for #Nuggets. Backcourt will be able to score if nothing else

Congrats to my guy Mike Malone on a great draft pick!

Wherever I stand, I stand with Mike Malone.

Seriously when was last time #Nuggets had legit outside shooting? Killed them during Karl poff yrs. And don't give me JR

Jamal Murray was prolific behind the arc, making 113 3-pointers his freshman year… only 9 less than Steph Curry. pic.twitter.com/yqbMXoZuAB
