With four point guards on the court, Michael Malone is able to get creative with unique play designs like this one. https://youtu.be/o_Ec-jYClpA 2. The Denver Nuggets…...

1. The thing about Nikola Jokic’s passing is that it isn’t just his touch or vision that make him such an elite facilitator, it’s his ability to bend the court exactly the way he wants to create passing angles or open up opportunities for easy buckets. The clips below are A+ examples of this. In the first clip, Jokic makes…...

The Denver Nuggets took Zeke Nnaji with the 22nd pick in the 2020 NBA draft, a spot that can be 50-50 for finding NBA-level talent. But that is for regular NBA executives.

PJ Dozier aka PJ Composure found a home in Denver after bouncing around the NBA for the first few years of his career. Michael Malone loves him, he’s versatile, and he seems to have a steep learning curve. But where does he fit on this Denver Nuggets roster? Is he a Torrey Craig replacement?

RJ Hampton fits the mold of player that Tim Connelly and the Denver Nuggets have built around for the last 6 years. Highly rated high school prospect, lots of upside, fell in the draft, probably will be a red shirt rookie. But he also fits into a role that the Nuggets need going forward. Length, speed, and athleticism to pair…...
Back in 2018, Gary Harris was considered the 2nd best player on the Denver Nuggets and a future two-way star. A couple seasons later, Gary has struggled to finish at the rim and has lost his outside shooting touch while maintaining his elite defensive impact.

Last season when Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, and Paul Millsap all had to miss tiem due to injuries, Will Barton stepped into a co-star role alongside Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets didn’t skip a beat.
