Team Profile:
The Nuggets were and still are the elite squad in the NBA. Nikola Jokic is arguably the No. 1 player in the world; Denver’s starting five is ridiculous; and the teams has solid depth and excellent coaching. Offensively, the Nuggets are set, although finding one more forward and shooter would help a lot, and although they aren’t known for their defense, they are fine. The Nuggets can win again, and I think they likely will.
Player Profile:
Michael Porter Jr. is an excellent third scorer, but I think he could average close to 20 points a game. He is mostly a catch-and-shoot talent who gives little more to Denver than scoring, but if he could work more off the dribble, he could help more.
