Will Michael Porter Jr. mesh with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray?

The Denver Nuggets already have one of the best duos in the NBA. The central question at the heart of the 2021 season is whether or not that duo can become a trio. Michael Porter Jr. might be as talented as anyone on the Nuggets’ roster. But can he improve his defense and buy-in to the system that has worked for the Denver Nuggets over the last few seasons? Do Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray need to adapt their games to fit him?
