Tyler King is back for another edition of Basketball in the Mountains following the Nuggets' 3-0 road trip to the east coast where Jamal Murray was the star, becoming the first Denver player not named Nikola Jokic to win a player of the week award since Paul Millsap in 2018. Tyler talks through Jamal's impressive start to the season and goes over his initial All-Star teams in both conferences, including Murray as a representative in the West.Then, Tyler talks about another impressive and unexpected win for the Suns, this one on the road against the Timberwolves as a shorthanded Phoenix team rallied in the fourth quarter behind Collin Gillespie, who has emerged as a key piece for the Suns going forward. Tyler also makes the case that Jordan Ott should be the frontrunner for NBA coach of the year at this point of the season thanks to all of the contributions he's gotten from a roster that is underwhelming on paper.Finally, Tyler wraps up the show with a few college basketball takeaways, led by BYU's impressive comeback win over Clemson at Madison Square, which was fueled by another stellar performance from star freshman AJ Dybantsa. Tyler also gives some thoughts on the epic game between Colorado and Colorado State at Moby Arena last Saturday afternoon before signing off.Make sure to subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications to never miss an episode with the NBA and college basketball seasons underway!
