Nuggets Biggest Need

Post #1 » by **NuggetsWY** » Tue Feb 6, 2018 1:00 pm

What do the Nuggets need? Are we talking this year? Are we talking future? What do you think?

With Plumlee injured (and when Jokic was out earlier), it seemed that having a 3rd center would be nice. But how high a priority is that?

There is a lot of talk about Denver needing another point guard. Remember that Morris is in the G-League and he might fit, we shall see. How many minutes would a backup PG get? Is this a nice to have like a 3rd center?

We've seen a lot of discussion about small forward, but not so much recently. Is Barton our SF for now? For the future? Where does Craig fit into this? Can Lyles play SF next to Millsap?

P.S. No fair saying, "We need a new coach". :lol:

As soon as there is serious talk of moving Mudiay and upgrading the PG position, Mudiay seems to put in solid minutes. It happened early in the season when Bledsoe rumors were swirling. Now that there is chatter connecting the Nuggets to other PGs, Mudiay is again putting in solid minutes. I'd say SF is our biggest long-term need. Chandler & Barton are keeping it together for now. Barton has a tendency to stall the offense and go iso and is best off the bench and not with the starting unit. Chandler has lost his will to play offense, but at least doesn't get in anybody's way. Craig can be a role-player, but he's not starter level. We are missing young talent at that position (although Juancho is still a ?).

Time, this team is a year away from a chance to move into contender status over the next couple of years, every move should be with that focus, meaning dumping salary and developing Craig and Hernangomez into 5th starters and the young guys to form a very good/great bench.

Get rid of the dead weight: Chandler make us play 4vs5 and Malone make us losing at least 3 games in the last month (and a couple of other times he tried but the player won anyway).

No, we have ONLY seven PF's right now, the other two which you listed also can play PF, but that is not their best/natural position.

Don't tell me, tell what's-his-name, you know, the guy that makes up the rotations. He was starting Jokic & Plumlee. That makes one of them the PF. Now he's starting Chandler at PF.
