9. Denver Nuggets

The addition of Paul Millsap has really helped the Denver Nuggets this season, who were one of the sweethearts of the NBA summer. Even though I feel like this team missed an opportunity in trading for Eric Bledsoe, I firmly believe that this Nuggets team is a playoff team.

So far so good. However, the difference between a playoff team and a flash in the pan team is consistency.

That’s what the next step will look like for the Nuggets.
