Jamal Murray is officially in the exhale phase. Now, he’s down to the business of just playing basketball.

After a rough start that saw him go 0-for-16 from the field in his first four games, Murray is looking much more like the player the Nuggets were certain they were getting when they selected him seventh overall in this year’s NBA Draft.

In his last three games (19.3 minutes per), Murray is averaging 9.3 points on 45.8 percent shooting overall and, most importantly, 41.7 percent from the 3-point line. He scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including making two of his four 3-point attempts. Related Articles November 9, 2016 Nuggets vs. Warriors: How to watch on TV, preview and more

“I’m a lot more comfortable,” said Murray, who looks to build on his recent success tonight in the Nuggets game against Golden State. “I just feel good out there. I just had to get that first bucket out of the way. After that, it was just play the game. They give me the green light to shoot the ball, so I’ve been shooting it with confidence and not think twice about it.”

The key was getting him playing time late in a blowout loss at Detroit where he made some quality shots. Murray was able to settle into life in the NBA by snapping an 0-for-17 start from the field this season.

“And not just for me, but for everybody,” Murray said. “For Malik (Beasley), for Juancho (Hernangomez), for a lot of the rookies. It was good for us to get out there and get experience running the plays against live talent in an actual game. I get to play point at the end of the game, which is my most comfortable position.”
