    That fall in the draft ended up being a huge benefit for MPJ. That added pressure of being a top 3 pick, being expected to play and make an immediate impact but instead sitting out that first year or big portions of the year has crushed players confidence in the past. Ie Faultz, and Jabari Parker.Hearing him talk about his continued difficulties with his back while simultaneously putting up 54/44/79 splits on 19ppg should make every Nuggets fan excited.
