If you replaced Jamal Murray with Trae Young would the Nuggets be better or worse? (alien.top)

Basically the title. Replace Murray with Trae. Contracts stay the same. Are the Nuggets better or worse now? I’m talking about Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks by the way

Strongly suggest you read this article. It goes into a lot more detail regarding the philosophy behind Denver's roster construction.

To answer your question though. Trae would make them significantly worse because;

He's undersized
Doesn't have an off ball game
Isn't a good movement shooter

Denver's roster construction focuses entirely on Jokic. All of those x4 guys are perfect complements to his skillset, and offset his weaknesses
