Denver Nuggets
Record: 16-26
The Denver Nuggets finally have a coach that they can build around. Mike Malone has done wonders for this Nuggets team, that didn’t have much expectations coming into this season. Now, the Nuggets are only a couple games out of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
How many predicted that?
Emmanuel Mudiay continues to prove that he’s going to be a project and is probably a few years away from being a big player in a point guard driven league, but that’s OK. Denver is definitely on the right track and has some nice pieces to build around. Question is, will all stick? The Nuggets should be busy on Trade Deadline day.
Grade: C+
