Free throws aren’t as much of a foregone conclusion as the name suggests. Even at the highest level of basketball, sinking an uncontested 15-footer isn’t a given. Miss a few in a row, and a player’s confidence can erode like a cliffside during a downpour. In 2017-18, no NBA player struggled more at the free throw line than Mason Plumlee.…...

At media day prior to the start of the 2017-18 season, Nuggets coach Michael Malone announced a three-way point guard competition between Jamal Murray, Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson, and despite Paul Millsap’s arrival earlier that summer, incumbent power forward Kenneth Faried declared that he still viewed himself as Denver’s starting four. A lot has changed in a year’s time…...
There was an all too familiar rhythm to Denver Nuggets games over the last two seasons. The Nuggets were difficult to stop with Nikola Jokic on the floor.

Mason Plumlee was never too prideful to do the dirty work. If the Nuggets needed their backup center to give them only 12 minutes of high-energy basketball a game, Plumlee stepped in without complaint. If they needed him to sub in and out at the end of games for defensive purposes, Plumlee did so with a pep in his step.…...
OKLAHOMA CITY — Mason Plumlee sent away Jerami Grant’s shot at the rim, and then he sent away something else afterward: the idea that making the playoffs is an unobtainable goal.
