Jamal Murray is getting help with ball-handling. Nuggets coach David Adelman said Cameron Johnson, Christian Braun and others handled it by design in the Oct. 11 game: "That's going to help Jamal out." On Murray's poor shooting night: "you guys know the shooting's coming."
Adelman says two-way signee Ryan Nembhard's speed tests Denver in practice: "He embarrassed our pick-and-roll defense last year." Cameron Johnson on the plan to send bodies after misses: "If you're half in, half out, it's not going to be anywhere near as effective as it could."
Cameron Johnson on KJ Simpson, calling it a tough part of the business: "Every time I was in the gym, KJ was in the gym." David Adelman says Johnson, in his second year, is "much more aggressive right now to let that thing fly because that's what he does."
