MM is moving the TOV% record by 18%. TOV% is turnovers per 100 plays.
Monte rewriting a record

Almost had a triple double tonight against Minnesota tonight. Love watching him play. Hope Denver realizes he should be playing more minutes.
Tonight Monte got 41 minutes, team high. Next highest was Barton with 31. I think he's got a legit shot at keeping the starting job once everyone is healthy with this kind of production. Move Murray to the 2.
One could make the case that Murray or Harris (or both) move to back up roles for as well as Man Man and Beasly have been playing.
His overall assist-to-turnover ratio is up to 5.86, 2nd in the NBA. When he got it up over 6.0 recently, he had a pair of TOs. The leader is the injured Tyus Jones of Minnesota, whose number remains at 6.3. I don't know what his status is or whether he's expected to play again soon but Monte is killing it in his first full year in the league.
If Malone is smart, he trades Gary Harris before the deadline and starts Monte, Murray, Beasley, Millsap, and Jokic
I remember one of his first games freshman year, and my wife said, "That Morris guy isn't very good." I told her to just give him a little time.
Formerly known as "Lloyd" Free. But "World B." sounds cooler. He had what might be called a high usage rate - he was a total chucker. He played for the San Diego Clippers and my cousin worked as a ballboy there in the 1980s; I have a picture holding one of World B's Nikes (with his name on them). I think he didn't turn the ball over much because he'd shoot it 80% of the time.
That all got me thinking about World - found this little 1:45 clip of his highlights - he had better hops than I remembered:
I was at the game last night and he looked really good. The only criticism I would have was he struggled guarding Rose, they switched him off pretty quick and on to Okogie.
Interesting. Honestly, I thought it was an iteration of the player formerly known as Ron Artest until I saw the year.
Yeah he’s been really fun to watch, especially as of late. Denver is also really good this year! I hope they don’t give any of his minutes to IT whenever the hell he comes back. Monte got snubbed for rising stars if you ask me!
