23. team. 73. . 0-0. Previous: . Denver Nuggets

Listen, I love the roster that the Denver Nuggets have compiled over the last few seasons. However, they’re still a couple years away from being a true contender to make the playoffs in the Western Conference.

Emmanuel Mudiay is going to be a very good point guard in the NBA. Gary Harris is probably the best shooting guard that no one’s heard about. Danilo Gallinari is lethal on the offensive end, when he’s healthy. Kenneth Faried, while he has his faults, has his bright spots as the energy guy for this team.

And Nikola Jokic…well, you better learn his name. He’s good. Really good.
