If there’s anything the Nuggets’ freshly stacked roster is missing, it would have to be a backup point guard, but the team has shown that the position is not a priority. One of the biggest reasons why is that the team’s starting center, Nikola Jokic, is the hub of the offense, the guy who runs the show, and creates the gravity to make it all work.
One stat to highlight why Jokic can essentially be the team’s backup point guard is the efficiency of inverted pick partners. The measure calculates the number of points scored per direct pick set by a player considered a guard for a player considered a center.
