The Nuggets have addressed almost every major hole on their roster during what has been an extremely impressive offseason for the new front office, but the team still lacks a reliable backup point guard.
As of right now, Jalen Pickett is the only point guard on the roster behind Jamal Murray, and Pickett’s spot in the rotation is tenuous at best. He had some nice moments last season and plenty of ups and downs, but Denver needs someone they can count on for steady bench minutes every night.
The Nuggets may not need true ball-handling point guards as much as other teams thanks to Nikola Jokic.
