We have ATGs stuck on terrible teams. Milwaukee and Denver are wasting ATG players careers. And these guys aren't mere HOFers.

Honestly Mike Malone was right.
If they’d spent the season developing the bench they’d be a 7 or 8 seed and those guys would still suck and you’d have wasted a prime Jokic season.
Booth just didn’t do a good enough job and the cheap owners don’t help.

I really dont know what his career will look like going forward. He's a small shooting guard who really isnt explosive athletically at all and doesnt have a sturdy frame. His best hope may be to improve his pg skills. He needs to tighten his handles as well


He's going to be 28 next year. He ain't going to suddenly become a real PG.

Denver's bench is the worst bench in the whole league.

At least Giannis has had a teammate make the ASG. Even now he has Dame (kinda).

Jokic's a whole other story.

If Jamal Murray's just going to miss wide open 3's, not much coaching you can do.

Whatever Denver does this off season, their lackluster defense they've had since Jokic's run should no longer be tolerated. If ur not going to surround Jokic with shooters or guys who can get their own shot without him then at least make sure your defense is top notch. As good as Malone was Denver's meh defense was on him.
