Now if PsWatt can get his shooting down, imagine that front court with DaRon backing up the Joker. Plus, Vlatco and Saric....that's a solid as a frontcourt as can be asked for.


Might be awhile before we see DaRon, but the pieces look promising.

MPJ and Gordon basically swap defensive assignments leaving Gordon on the perimeter and MPJ guarding the power forward. Gaining some weight is likely going to improve MPJ's defense.


DaRon is unlikely to return until next year, guess we will have a 1st rndr next year in a way. My point was, with the flexibility created and if injuries happen, we could get some PT for players like PsWatt, Strawther, or Vlatko with the Joker, which should increase the production as well as confidence.

Absent injury, Watson and Strawther are very likely to be in the rotation. I think your are right about the Nuggets' depth with the young guys coming up and hopefully, that will be an improvement overall. This appears to be a deep team with the new veterans.

Vlatko is a bit of a question mark given the amount of time he has missed but I would love to see him added to the rotation mix. However, I wouldn't count Nnaji out just yet.

The one guy on this team that has the ability to jump to a another level is MPJ. In that sense, he is the wildcard this season.
Canned in Denver.

Return to Denver Nuggets
