The regular season starts tomorrow for the Denver Nuggets, but before we got there, they did stuff during the offseason! Let's grade their moves: medium.com/@ryanfreemyer/gra…
"The Nuggets have liked what they've seen from Holmes so far" except not enough to actually play him in any games apparently
Not expecting the Nuggets to pick this up considering DaRon is currently glued to the end of the bench.
Takeaways from Nuggets game 5:
-Maybe the best game of CB's career? Huge development if the shooting and defensive playmaking is real
-Jamal was also great, been fantastic since game 1
-Defensive rebounding continues to be a problem
-Please get Tyus off my team
Getting a serviceable backup PG for Zeke and two 2nds is not going to happen. The Nuggets would be lucky to trade Zeke and two 2nds for nothing.
Okay, I'll be the one brave enough to say it: if Christian Braun continues at this pace and shoots 100% from three on 10 attempts a game he'll be worth his contract
Absolutely do not care about the NBA Cup at all, but this counts as a regular game too so the Nuggets should just win anyway
Absolutely will not support this guy on my team
Multiple people around the league have told @TheConsensusNBA in recent days that the Denver Nuggets want Kevin Porter Jr.
In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising if Denver signs Porter now, despite being above the second apron, with the intention of getting below the threshold later.
Okay but it's actually kinda funny to watch DeMar when he does attempt a three. Looks like it takes him every ounce of strength he has to get the ball to the rim lol
Takeaways from Nuggets game 4:
-It's the Pels so this comes with a grain of salt
-Too many turnovers but overall good game from Jokić on both ends. Good to see him not settling for threes.
-Really like the combo of AG/Brazile at the 3/4
-Jokić/Bagley also good
-Jamal played great
I should also say, Jamal is averaging 38.5 minutes per game so far, an unsustainable number and a reflection of the team not having a competent backup for him. Addressing that should be their #1 priority, ideally sooner than later.
Jokić is not going to block shots at the rim when the primary defender is already beat which is where all the stuff about him being a cone and a poor defender comes from, but he does a lot of other things well, as seen on this play.
