Former Memphis Grizzlies player Darrell Arthur had an interesting comment for the press the other day.
Now comments like this aren’t that unusual for teams competing for the playoffs year in and year out, but Denver hasn’t been to the playoffs since the 2012-13 season and weren’t even above .500 last season.
That doesn’t mean the Nuggets haven’t been improving during their absence. The Nuggets have improved their record in each of the last three seasons. They have a promising young big man in Nikola Jokic, All-Star power forward in Paul Millsap, an exciting young shooting guard in Gary Harris and former Memphis Tiger Will Barton as the shooter off the bench.
