The Nuggets’ newfound depth has reshaped the roster and their lineups and rotations, but a big part of the new flexibility has been the play of Aaron Gordon, and especially his lights-out three-point shooting. As he continues to drill outside shots at a high level, it’s opening up the floor for the rest of the offense to thrive.
Gordon has been hitting shots at a high clip for some time now, but the sample size has become big enough that this no longer feels like a fluke, and defenses have started to adjust and pay attention to Gordon at all times.
