The Denver Nuggets achilles heel has been their defense the last year and season before. However, the potential to move up in the defensive rankings will be there this season.
With a new and fully healthy roster, the Nuggets may turn some heads on the defensive end of the floor. We already know the Nuggets have one of the top offensive units in the league along with the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. The difference between the defending champs and us though, is that the Warriors are elite defensively, especially with guys like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green leading the way.
