He is averaging 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 39.9% from the field and 35.0% from the three-point range in his first 22 games with Denver.

Via Adam Mares of DNVR Sports: "Last year, Jamal Murray had 151 assists (for 361 points) to Nikola Jokic. That was the most assists anyone has ever had to Jokic in a single season.

Russell Westbrook already has 51 assists (108 points) to Jokic this season. Decent chance he reaches 151+"

Denver is his sixth team, as the nine-time All-Star has also spent time with the OKC Thunder, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets over 17 seasons.
