Short Doc on Jamal Murray.

I may watch it later, and I know they want to hype up his return, but listening talk about the pain and problems with rehab make me worry he is still to focused on the injury. Playing scared is how a lot of guys get re-injured.

I',m kinda wondering if it might be better to bring Murray off the bench (when KCP is healthy) to help acclimate him back from rust/injury ? Theoretically, he'd be playing against lesser competition which would help build his confidence.

Last night against the Lakers he looked like he was finally getting his confidence back a little bit more. I don't think its a horrible idea but at this point, I doubt they will do it.

Considering that Porter looks already on his pre-injury level and KCP and Brown make a faster adjustment to the Denver offense system after 5 games than Barton after 5 years I will not rush Murray to be any close to his previous level until the all-star pause. Such talent deserves maximum patience at least the whole first season after a such long pause (but I really hope he will be old Murray in the playoff). For the regular season record purposes this season I'm more focused on Hyland's improvement and Malone's improved common sense.
