The Nuggets held their annual Media Day on Monday, with interviews from general manager Calvin Booth, head coach Michael Malone and each player on the roster.
Here’s a handful of the noteworthy comments from Ball Arena:
Head coach Michael Malone: “We understand that you can’t be 15th in the NBA in defensive efficiency and be serious about winning at a high level.”
Analysis: Malone was thrilled with the offseason additions of Bruce Brown, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and first-rounders Christian Braun and Peyton Watson. He envisions them plugging a lot of holes on what was an average defense last season.
