There was plenty of talk all offseason about the Nuggets’ new depth and how the team could possibly go 12-deep on any given night. But one player I was not expecting to be part of that deep rotation was Spencer Jones, who came in and played 6 second quarter minutes during the team’s opening night loss to the Warriors.
In fact, Denver only played 10 players, as Julian Strawther, Jalen Pickett, and DaRon Holmes were on the outside looking in. Even in a game that went to overtime, the Nuggets weren’t nearly as creative with their rotations as some had hoped.
