The Nuggets are off to a great start this season, but if there’s one hole left on the roster, it’s the backup point guard spot behind Jamal Murray. The perfect veteran floor general for the second unit will be available on December 15th, and that’s Dennis Schroder of the Sacramento Kings.
So far, Denver has been patching together those minutes with a lot of Bruce Brown, some Jalen Pickett, a little Tim Hardaway Jr., and Peyton Watson, along with a lot of playmaking from the center position, either Nikola Jokiu0107 or Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas. It hasn’t bitten them, but this may not be sustainable over the course of a long regular season and against elite playoff competition.
