2015-16 NUGGETS NOTES

CAREER NIGHTS FOR NURK
Jusuf Nurkic has found a bit of a groove lately, and it led to him having career-high performances in back-to-back games at LAL on 3/25 and at LAC on 3/27
and then surpassing both of those on 4/8 vs. SA.
Juka came off the bench to score a then career-high 18 points on 7-of-11 (.636) shooting from the field at LAL on 3/23. The big man grabbed four
rebounds, blocked two shots and collected one steal as well. But his unselfish passing stole the show as he dished out a career-high five helpers. Just one
game later at LAC on 3/27 he dropped in a new career-high 19 points to go with seven rebounds.
He topped both of those with a career-best 21 points to go with nine rebounds, two steals and two blocks in a win over San Antonio on 4/8.
Nurkic has averaged 22.2 minutes in his last 11 games played and delivered across the board during this stretch. He is averaging 12.0 points, 5.8
rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.91 blocks while shooting 49% (52-107 FG) from the field in his last 11 contests.
MUDIAYS MARCH
Emmanuel Mudiays overall game has continued to grow all season long, and it has been flourishing since the month of March began. The rookie has looked
extremely comfortable his last 17 games, scoring at a high rate and posting an assist to turnover ratio of 2.1:1. He has also registered five 20+ point games,
including a career-high 30 vs. PHX on 3/10.
His most memorable moment from this year will prove to be his late-game heroics vs. PHI on 3/23. Mudiay posted his first career point/rebound doubledouble with 27 points, 11 rebounds and four assists and connected on an unbelievable half-court heave as time expired to give Denver a one-point victory.
In 17 games in March, Mudiay averaged 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists while shooting 39% from the field and 39% (28-72 3FG) from three.
D.J. DELIVERING IN CRUNCH TIME
New Nugget D.J. Augustin continues to provide quality minutes when called upon, and he certainly delivered vs. LAL on 3/2 and again vs. DAL on 3/6.
Augustin dropped in a season-high 26 points while going 7-of-11 from the field, 3-of-3 from long range and 9-of-9 from the charity stripe vs. LAL on 3/2.
Even more impressive is when the majority of those points came in the fourth quarter when Denver needed them the most. He scored a Nuggets seasonhigh and a career-high 22 points in the fourth quarter, leading the charge to a Nuggets victory. It was the most points scored in the fourth quarter by a
Nugget since J.R. Smith had 23 in the fourth against Sacramento on 4/13/09.
Against Dallas on 3/6, Augustin struggled from the field for most of the game, but erupted in overtime to score each of the Nuggets final eight points to
seal the victory. He drained two three-pointers and knocked down to two clutch free throws with 0.9 seconds remaining to clinch it.
Augustin has scored in double-figures in 18 of his 27 games with Denver after doing so four times in his first 34 games of the year. He has also scored
20+ points four times as a Nugget and posted two double-doubles. Additionally, he ranks 20th in the NBA in fourth quarter scoring since joining Denver on
2/18, averaging 5.3 points and 1.8 assists on 47% shooting from the field, 39% from three and 86% from the line in the final 12 minutes.
DA BENCH MOB GOIN BANANAS

The Nuggets reserve unit has been steady all year long, but have also picked up the scoring slack in numerous games this season. 3/12 vs. Washington
was one of those games.
Denvers bench combined for a season-high 75 points, including scoring the Nuggets final 51 points of the game. D.J. Augustin posted 17 points and
10 assists, Darrell Arthur tallied 17 points and six boards, Jusuf Nurkic had 17 points and Will Barton collected 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Just seven games later at LAL on 3/23, the bench erupted again, combining for 71 points behind Augustin, Nurkic and Barton all scoring 16+ points.
Denvers reserves rank second in the NBA in points per game with 41.0, they rank third in rebounds with 18.4 per game and they rank fourth in assists
with 9.5 per game.
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
Denver earned a road win over the Lakers on 3/25, and one of the most telling stats of the game was their 31 assists.
It was their third game of the season with 30 assists (3-0) and theyve recorded 25-or-more helpers on 31 occasions
(18-13). Over the years, the Nuggets assist totals have stood out in correlation with their win-loss record. See the chart to
the right for Denvers record since the start of the 2009-10 season when recording 25+ assists and 30+.

HARRISS BIG YEAR

Second-year guard Gary Harris came into this season slated as the Nuggets starting shooting guard, and he has proved without a shadow of a doubt he
earned the position. He continues to excel on the defensive end each night, but his aggressiveness on the offense end has been undeniable as well.
Harris is averaging 12.2 points per game while also adding 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.29 steals in 32.0 minutes of action. Those numbers give
him an 8.9 point increase from last season, a 1.7 increase in rebounds, a 1.4 increase in assists and a 19.4 increase in minutes per game.
He has also been one of the most efficient scorers on the squad, shooting 47.1% from the field, 35.3% from three and 81.7% from the free throw line.
He is one of just seven players this season to average 12+ points while shooting 47% from the field, 35% from three and 81% from the line.
Harris scored 10+ in 18 straight games from 2/24 to 3/28, the longest stretch of his career. He averaged 15.4 points on 49% shooting over this stretch.
MANIMAL DOESNT MISS
Despite a tough loss at MIA on 3/14, Kenneth Faried put on quite the show on offense, registering 24 points to go with 11 rebounds while shooting a perfect
100% from the field. Kenneth made all 11 of his field goal attempts, his most makes in a game without a miss in his career (previous high was seven).
Faried is just the second Nugget since 1983 to go perfect from the field with 11+ field goals, with Nene being the only other to do so (he went 12-of-12
from the field on 1/25/09 vs. UTA). Additionally, it is just the 20th instance of someone accomplishing this in the NBA since the start of the 1983-84 season.

NIKOLA DELIVERS IN 21 MINUTES-OR-LESS

Another game, another impressive performance from the Nuggets Serbian rookie. This time Nikola Jokic tallied 13 points, 13 rebounds and two steals in just
21 minutes of action.
According to basketball-reference.com, Jokic is the only player since 1983-84 to post 13 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in 21 minutes-or-less. The
extremely rare stat-line marked the 10th double-double of the season for Jokic, making him one of only four rookies to register 10+ double-doubles this year
(he now has 14). The other three were all top-four selections in the 2015 NBA Draft: Karl-Anthony Towns (42), Kristaps Porzingis (19) and Jahlil Okafor (11).
JOKIC EFFICIENCY
Nikola Jokic continues to impress as the season goes on, and the more comfortable he has gotten on the court the more
efficient he has become. He currently ranks fifth among all rookies in field goal percentage (.508) and second among all
rookies in Player Efficiency Rating (21.47).
Not only does he come in second among rookies, but he has the 26th highest PER in the entire league and the 9th
best among all centers (chart to right).
On 1/30 at IND, Jokic posted 16 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a career-high five steals in 35 minutes. He
became just the third Nugget since 1983 to have 16, 11, 2 and 5 in the same game (Fat Lever did it 10 times and Reggie
Williams once).
NIKOLA DISHING THE ROCK
Rookie center Nikola Jokic has shown numerous facets of his game this season, but one of the most exciting is
definitely his unique passing ability. He has consistently looked for the open man when he has the ball in his
hands, and on more than one occasion he has done so in spectacular fashion.
Jokic currently averages 2.3 assists per game, which is good for 7th among all rookies. If he continues at
this pace or improves his assist average the rest of the season, he will be just the sixth rookie center since 2000
to average 1.7 assists-or-more.
The Serbian big man dished out a season-high nine assists vs. CHA on 1/10, joining Marc Gasol as the
only centers in the NBA this season with 9+ assists in a game.

MUDIAY STARTS OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Ever since Denver selected Emmanuel Mudiay with the 7 th overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, people have been patiently waiting for him to wear a Nuggets

Before joining the Nuggets, Malone served as the head coach of the Sacramento Kings where he posted a record of 39-67 spanning two seasons.
Before his time with the Kings, Malone was the lead assistant for the Golden State Warriors under Mark Jackson from 2011-13 where they appeared
in the playoffs both seasons.
Prior to Golden State, Malone worked as the lead assistant to Monty Williams in New Orleans and helped the Hornets achieve a 46-36 record and a
trip to the 2011 NBA Playoffs. The Hornets were the most improved defensive team in the NBA in 2011, allowing a league-best 8.7 fewer points per
game than in the previous campaign (94.0 ppg, after giving up 102.7 ppg in 2009-10).
Malone also served as an assistant coach under Mike Brown for the Cleveland Cavaliers for five seasons, during which the Cavs posted a 272-138
(.663) record, the third-best mark in the NBA over that span. The Cavaliers made five consecutive playoff appearances during Malones time on the
bench, reaching the NBA Finals in 2007 and the Eastern Conference Finals in 2009. In 2008-09, the Cavs notched a franchise record and NBA-best
66 wins, with Malone and the rest of the teams staff earning the right to coach the Eastern Conference All-Star squad. In 2009-10, the Cavaliers
again captured the leagues best regular season record with 61 wins.
Malones NBA coaching career began with a four-season stint with the New York Knicks, where he originally joined Jeff Van Gundys staff as a
coaching associate in the summer of 2001, and was promoted to assistant coach in May 2003.
Before joining the NBA, Malone coached seven years in the college ranks, with his last stop coming at Manhattan College where he was the lead
assistant. During the 1998-99 season Malone worked at the University of Virginia as its director of mens basketball administration. Malone also
spent three seasons (1995-96 1997-98) at Providence College under New York Basketball Hall of Fame coach Pete Gillen after beginning his
coaching career working for Greg Kampe at Oakland University in Michigan.
Malone is a two-time participant in the NBAs Basketball Without Borders program, having coached at the leagues global outreach camps in Puerto
Rico (2006) and Argentina (2005). He has also served several stints as the summer league head coach for the Hornets, Cavaliers and Knicks, and
was one of six NBA coaches to participate in the NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Chicago in 2004 and 2005. Malone also served as an assistant coach for
the Canadian Mens Senior National Team for three years. He helped guide the Canadian team to a top-four finish in the 2009 FIBA Americas
Championship in Puerto Rico, qualifying Canada for the 2010 World Championships.
A native of Queens, New York, Malone played college basketball at Loyola College in Maryland, where he graduated with a BA degree in 1994. He
is a graduate of New Jerseys Seton Hall Prep where he played two years under Bob Farrell. Malone also played a season under Tom Blackburn at
Worcester Academy (Mass.).
Michael is the son of longtime NBA coach and former Kings and current Detroit Pistons Assistant Coach Brendan Malone, who has coached over 27
years in the league.
He and his wife, Jocelyn, have two daughters, Caitlin and Bridget.
