Downing-Imagn ImagesThe starting lineup's been a revolving door this season for the Nuggets, but each Nugget that walks through the turnstiles continues to get the job done. Julian Strawther is the latest to do just that. Strawther, who has a team option for next season, has helped ease any worries Nuggets fans may have had about the hole that is the wing spot for the rest of this season. And, if Peyton Watson can't be re-signed when he becomes a restricted free agent this summer, they've found a capable replacement.
