Our offseason team-by-team podcast series rolls right along with the Denver Nuggets, who never seem to get enough attention nationally or locally if you ask their fans. Adam Mares, the managing editor of SB Nation’s Nuggets site Denver Stiffs and a contributor to Nylon Calculus and VICE Sports, joins us to discuss the following:
- What did Michael Malone actually accomplish in his first year on the job?
- Why everyone should expect big things from surprise rookie and breakout FIBA star Nikola Jokic.
- How the Nuggets plan to solve their logjams at shooting guard (Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Will Barton, etc.) and power forward (Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur, Joffrey Lauvergne, plus small ball options).
- What is the one skill that Emmanuel Mudiay must improve first to fulfill his potential?
- Can Danilo Gallinari duplicate his career year? Can he actually stay healthy for long enough?
- What needs to happen for the Nuggets to compete for the playoffs this year?
Plus, the guys quiz Mike on how many Nuggets games he actually watched last year.
