21. Mike Malone, Denver Nuggets
After taking the majority of the blame for the dysfunction that was taking place inside the Sacramento Kings locker room, or at the very least taking the fall for the organization, Mike Malone has found a nice home in Denver.
Even though the Nuggets failed to make the playoffs last season, Malone is directing a team with arguably the second best young talent – I couldn’t put them ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves, sorry.
The Nuggets’ future is bright. The question is, will Malone be able to continue to push the right buttons in developing this roster? So far, so good.
