Nuggets Need to Focus on Defense in the Draft

Related Topics: Wilson Chandler, Gary Harris

Outside of Gary Harris and occasionally Wilson Chandler, the Nuggets lack defensive firepower. Sure, they are an offensive juggernaut, but the defense is a joke as every avid Denver knows. With that in mind, Nuggets GM Tim Connelly needs to focus on rookies who are defensive minded.

This is not to say that offense is an aspect that should be overlooked. But, Denver’s defensive statistics show why the Nuggets had a difficult time keeping opponents under 100 points. Landing a guy like Jonathan Isaac would be a perfect fit for the Nuggets and help them make the next step in their process.
