The Denver Nuggets are close. Then again, I feel like this is what we’re always saying about Denver. Specifically, against the Toronto Raptors, the Nuggets nearly pulled off their best win of the season.
Denver lost to the Raptors in OT, but showed some promise. Problem is, they don’t show it enough. In a way, Emmanuel Mudiay is a microcosm of what Denver represents. There are nights when Mudiay looks good. Really good. Then, there are times when he looks like a bust.
Inconsistency has been Mudiay’s downfall through the first year, and some, of his career. Perhaps most concerning, Mudiay is averaging more turnovers than assists per game in November. No bueno.
