Youth and rebuilding: can the Denver Nuggets overcome their own history of wasted youth?

Adding so many draft picks to a team already bursting with youth is either a recipe for a disaster, or for dynasty. The Nuggets are hoping for the latter, but their own history shows scant few examples of this sort of roster creation.

With Juancho Hernangomez and Jamal Murray performing well in Summer League, the question has to be asked: just how young and inexperienced do the Denver Nuggets intend to go this year? The answer may be, "as young as they've ever been in their history."

If Hernangomez stays with the Nuggets this year instead of going back to Europe for another season, Denver looks to have six players age 22 and under who will be on the team getting minutes.
