The Nuggets have some areas with potential for upgrade. While the Nuggets are number one in adjusted Defensive rating (per Basketball Reference), they’re 22nd in Adjusted Offensive Rating. This mark is far from 6th in the league last year, as they were.
It appears as if the starting unit is adequate offensively, posting a 113.5 offensive rating (per Cleaning the Glass). A problem may be the bench offense. The most used bench unit is a very below average 105.1.
Something you’ll notice here is that Malik Beasley and Mason Plumlee are included in every trade.
