NBA: Official Thread -- Cyclones in the NBA & G-League 2018-19

Monte, with a sweet first-half finish in Game 7 vs. the Blazers to give the Nuggets the lead:



Denver is up 9 pts at half with a match-up against the GSW awaiting the winners. After only playing 2 minutes in Game 6, Monte played 5 in the 1st half and had 3 pts.

The Nuggets collapsed in the 2nd half of game 7 and like that, Monte's NBA season ends.

Extremely tough series for Monte but he had a fantastic year. Excited to see him take the next step.

This was an interesting paragraph in that article (thanks for sharing):

He utilizes the midrange a lot, which would generally be the death of efficiency for him, but he made it work. Among the 91 players to attempt 250+ shots from 4 to 22 feet (outside of the restricted area and inside the three point line), Morris was 3rd out of 91 players in efficiency, shooting 160 of 318 overall (50.3%). The only players above him were Kevin Durant, noted midrange assassin, and Al Horford.
