When Nikola Jokic re-entered the starting lineup on December 15, everything clicked.
From that point forward, the Denver Nuggets submitted the league’s best offensive rating (113.3). And though they had been remarkably porous (league-worst 111.9 defensive evaluation ), they nevertheless outscored their foes and asserted themselves as a valid threat to make the playoffs.
Now, they.
Paul Millsap is the perfect match alongside Jokic, gracing the Nuggets along with his defensive acumen and flexible offensive play. He gives the Mile High City another top-25 participant, and his existence instantly creates one of the NBA’s most reckless frontcourt pairings.
Will opponents handle passing coming from many different locations in 2017-18? How can they counteract the offensive excellence when a legitimate defensive stalwart is creating Jokic’s life easier?
Along with the frontcourt is not the sole reason for unmitigated optimism.
Gary Harris enjoys enormous synergy with Jokic and is coming off a breakout year. He must keep on emerging as one of the Association’s better 2-guards, and he’s joined by yet another high-upside backcourt member in Jamal Murray.
Losing Danilo Gallinari hurts, and the Nuggets failed to consolidate their assets. But this really is a deep group overflowing with gift at many distinct positions.
