Looking at the Nuggets depth chart
G: J Murray, R Westbrook
G: C Braun, P Watson
F: M Porter Jr, J Strawther
F: A Gordon, V Cancar
C: N Jokic, D Saric
Others: D Jordan, Z Nnaji, D Holmes (injured). All centers.
I'd like to see them bring Cancar back into the rotation. Get another shooter or somewhat of a shooter involved in the game. Strawther struggled with his shot as a rookie but he is a legit shooter. Saric is a shooter. So three frontcourt players who can shoot.
The SG spot is weak point. Two defensive role players neither of whom who can reliably make a three point shot. Neither can Westbrook as the backup PG. So only Jamal Murray is a good jump-shooter in their entire backcourt. Not good.
I kinda like the idea of Westbrook as a creator when Murray is resting. They needed another dribble-drive threat. I also like him playing off of Jokic. It is the lack of shooters alongside him that I worry more about.
C Braun is going to be the big wild-card for them next season. Whether he can develop his 3 ball enough to be a quality starter for them or not. If he can, they are in busines. If he cannot, then Denver does not look like a real contender.
