Nuggets must experiment with Aaron Gordon to find optimal role
Oklahoma City Thunder v Denver Nuggets - Game Three | Matthew Stockman/GettyImagesAaron Gordon has been a perfect fit in Denver since being traded to the Nuggets back in 2021, penciling into the other frontcourt position alongside Nikola Jokic. It’s the exact role the Nuggets needed, and he has been able to play it admirably, but now, they need more.
Finally, the team has built up its depth, and they have the ability to use Gordon in more diverse ways. They would be crazy not to take advantage. For the first phase of his career in Orlando, Gordon mostly played on the wing and acted as a lead initiator on offense frequently.
