The Denver Nuggets have spent the last few years wandering the Western Conference wilderness after George Karl's fun 2013 team fell apart after a 57-25 season. Can their young core take a step forward this season?
The Denver Nuggets are a vastly unnoticed team in the Western Conferences' roiling bloodbath. Three years of mediocre 30-odd-win seasons have left them in the rear-view mirror of a Conference that is arduous to rebuild in. However, Mike Malone and his men are beginning to construct a team worthy of a return to prominence.
Rebuilding is a frustrating process, more so in the NBA than perhaps any other professional sport.
