The Nuggets haven’t had any trouble putting together an elite offense since Nikola Jokic rose to prominence, but they’ve never had a true sniper who can provide microwave scoring quite like Tim Hardaway Jr. can. Denver has had a hard time piecing together bench minutes the past few years and was lucky to find a bright spot here and there.
Even during the championship year, they had a solid bench, but there wasn’t a lot of shooting or scoring. But this year, THJ is bringing that element in spades, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
