The current iteration of the Denver Nuggets is mainly a result of impressive scouting, draft selections and player development. In the 2018-19 season, the Nuggets won 54 games, made the Western Conference semifinals and had seven players that scored in double figures. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Denver’s 2018-19 team is that five of those seven players were under the age of 24.
The Nuggets have drafted and developed key players in the team’s rotation, which has set Denver up for an extended run of success as their players begin to enter their prime years.
However, the Nuggets also have a history of nabbing All-Star and Hall-of-Fame talent in the draft.
