The Denver Nuggets made a bold move to trade one of their core pieces over the summer in Michael Porter Jr. in order to bring in Cam Johnson. Getting rid of a long-time starter that knows your system so well is a bold move, but nights like Johnson's on Thursday are proving that this team absolutely made the right choice.
Plenty of concern has been expressed through the first two months of this season that Johnson hasn't made as big of an impact as some had expected, and his numbers are down. But in reality, this has all been part of the process of him getting acclimated to Denver's system, and learning how best to utilize his talents within it.
