Daily Nugget: Denver’s “bullpen” at the forward spots
“I feel like we have a bullpen. If I need to bring in a defender, I call the bullpen and bring in Torrey Craig. If we need shooting or an offensive spark, you can go to Juancho or Michael Porter. It’s definitely a luxury.”
Those were the comments from Nuggets head coach Michael Malone following Denver’s 105-95 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Malone was asked about the team’s depth at the forward positions, which was one of the key storylines heading into training camp and the season.
So far, things have played out just as Malone described them, with his use of each player likening that of baseball managers selecting relief pitchers from the bullpen depending on the matchup.
