Many have questioned Emmanuel Mudiay over the course of this season. At least for one game, he answered the call. In their impressive win over the Boston Celtics earlier this week, Mudiay scored 30 points on only 18 shot attempts.

Now, the question is if he can find some sort of consistency. The talent is there, clearly. He just hasn’t been able to put it all together.

As for the Nuggets, they’ve shown potential. They’re 3-3, and what they’ve been six games into the season is likely what they’re going to be the rest of the way. They’re going to be OK, pretty good – just not good enough to make things interesting in the West.
