Player To Watch: Wilson Chandler

He may have just asked for a trade, but without Jokic and Gallinari the player to watch honors for the Denver Nuggets falls to Wilson Chandler. Chandler has cooled off a bit from earlier in the year, but he’s still a potent scoring forward.

Chandler missed all of last season with injuries, but he’s back and literally better than ever. He’s scoring 15.4 points per game to go along with 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Chandler is hitting 45.1 percent of his field goals and 35.1 percent of his triples in Denver this season.

Most of those numbers are either at or near the highest they’ve ever been, and Chandler is getting less run with the Nuggets than he did in some seasons earlier in his career. Some contender will be happy to get his services soon, in exchange for some draft pick or other asset.

If the Bucks get very lucky, maybe he’ll even get traded right before the game! Not even Milwaukee could lose a game to the Denver Nuggets potentially lacking their four top scorers. Or could they..
