What Makes This Play Great: Wedge Punch and AI Out

“What makes this play great” is a series at DNVR in which I break down in detail a single play, moment, or sequence from a Denver Nuggets game and explain all of the subtle details that you might’ve missed the first time around.

In this episode, I look at the main ways that Paul Millsap is able to play isolation basketball out of a post-up.  The Nuggets went away from Millsap in the post a bit this season compared to the previous two but there are still a couple of plays and situations where the Nuggets try to get Millsap the ball on the block and clear out for him to go to work.
