The Nuggets are set to be an excellent and very well-balanced team in a lot of ways, but they should be historically dominant when it comes to points in the paint, specifically non-rim attempts. Essentially, this factors in any paint shot that isn’t a dunk or layup, so floaters, push shots, hooks, and short jumpers and set shots.
To the surprise of nobody, Nikola Jokic is the most efficient player at converting these shots in the history of the NBA, but what may raise some eyebrows is that second place in that category belongs to Jonas Valanciunas.
