G Ian Clark, 6-3, 180
G Emmanuel Mudiay 6-5, 200
C Jusuf Nurkic, 6-11, 280
F Joffrey Lauvergne, 6-11, 220
G Jamaal Franklin, 6-5, 191
G Gary Harris, 6-4, 210
G Erick Green, 6-4, 185
C Nikola Jokic, 6-11, 250

Need to fill in with a few forwards but this looks like some Nuggets excitement. Already looking to watch/record this team on Altitude network !!

Nurkic just got surgery to repair a partially torn knee patella. He will be lucky to be back by the start of training camp, serious injury that needs to be handled carefully. I don't expect him to be 100% until at least January.

yall tried saying that I was blowing smoke these last 2 months when i hyped up Johnson and now look. We passed on Johnson and winslow to draft a pg without trading the current starting pg. And by looks of free agency, we may end up keeping the starting pg and using mudiay at the sg position. If mudiay ends up at the 2, then itll be official that we passed on the the 2 best wings (sgs) in the draft.

Both highlight videos are just like my breakdowns of Johnson before the draft. All you see is him score in different ways and being active. This was the alpha dog yall kept clamoring for during the off season.

And as far as Johnson playing against stronger/athletic players, again do you realize that at 18years old, johnson is the strongest player in the nba thats 6'7 or under lmao. Jimmy butler and harden weigh 20 less lbs than Johnson. Hes bigger than draymond green . This was by far worst move of the tim conolly regime. We had the 7 pick and Johnson went 8. Unbelievable

Ps: Portland blows up their team thar got to a 2nd round couple years ago. Meanwhile were "shopping" yet holding onto/retaining bum role players. Hilarious

Holy crap. It was two summer league games against absolute nobodies. He could average 30 a game in summer league and you're changing nobody's opinion in either direction. He's going to have to do it in the actual league, so save the highlight videos for somebody else. Honestly - are you a fan of the Nuggets, or just Stanley Johnson?

Skita was a summer league all-star, and was one of the worst draft picks in team history.

And he's still not athletic enough to finish against athletic seven footers every night. His disappearing act in the tournament highlights what happens when competition increases.
