1. Emmanuel Mudiay’s best skill right now is his vision I’ll admit I didn’t know much about Mudiay before the Nuggets drafted him No. 7 overall this summer. He was a pure point guard that was physically gifted, that’s all I knew. What I would learn throughout the next four months was that he has the vision, passing ability and…...
The Rundown The Denver Nuggets are off to a swimmingly solid start to the 2015 NBA preseason, thanks mostly to the play of their young core.

He was the 19th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, yet his name hasn’t been mentioned much this summer. His encouraging performance at the 2015 Las Vegas Summer League was overshadowed by No. 7 overall pick Emmanuel Mudiay’s coming out party.

If you’ve been paying any attention to BSNDenver.com lately you’re likely well aware of my stance on the recent Ty Lawson escapade.
