Denver Nuggets (0-0)
Last week: N/A
Last rank: NR
I don’t know what to think about the Nuggets. On one hand, they are athletic and skilled enough to be a 6th seed or higher in the Western Conference at the end of the season. On the other hand, you could also see things going south for this team.
Defensively, they are going to have some issues in the backcourt. You know it’s bad when head coach Brian Shaw has said that rookie Gary Harris is the best defender back there a couple times during training camp.
If Kenneth Faried can make the next jump, than I like the Nuggets chances of making the playoffs for the second time in the last three seasons.
