Nuggets’ Depth
The Denver Nuggets’ roster is looking very good for next season, which means good things for the team. Not only did they do well in the draft and in free agency, but they are also getting a couple players back from injury.
For the guards, the Nuggets are stacked at this point. Starting at point guard will be Ty Lawson, who has been the team’s facilitator for a while now. Alongside him will be Arron Afflalo, Randy Foye and recently drafted Gary Harris. Returning from injury will be Nate Robinson, who played well last season before going down with his injury.
Also returning from injury will be forwards Danilo Gallinari, J.J. Hickson and Wilson Chandler. Gallinari will provide excellent shooting and Hickson will bring some great defense to the team. At center will be JaVale McGee, Timofey Mozgov or Jusuf Nurkic.
One player that can’t be forgotten is Kenneth Faried. The Nuggets are trying to work out a contract extension, but nothing has been made official yet. He will be the main piece to the Nuggets’ roster next season. He is a young, talented power forward that can be an All-Star in this league. Having him back would complete the team of everything they need.
