Murray is one of the best players in the NBA and is coming off a year where he averaged 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from the three-point range in 59 games.

However, he has gotten off to a slow start in Paris.

Via Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports: "Jamal Murray and Canada are 3-0 at the Olympics after beating Spain. Murray finishes with 4 points, 6 assists but 3 turnovers in 17 minutes. Not a great individual showing, but Murray’s playing the off-the-ball role Canada’s asking him to. Overall, he’s shooting just 1-10 from 3."
