27. Denver Nuggets
Backcourt: Emmanuel Mudiay & Randy Foye
The Denver Nuggets have officially handed the keys of the team over to a rookie.
And while Emmanuel Mudiay has potential, fans need to be patient with the young playmaker. He enters a team of versatile players and if they feel he has the talent level to be better than Ty Lawson, he’s going to get the chance to prove them right.
There will be plenty of mistakes along the way, but he will be given every opportunity to succeed. Foye is a bench player that is starting. He has games where he can drop 20-plus points, but then he goes out the next game and scores 10. He must be consistent if the Nuggets are to have a shot on a nightly basis.
