How Would The Nuggets Do In The World Cup?

The World Cup is days away, and the USA is slated to be in the “Group of Death.” But how would the USMNT do if they had some members of the Denver Nuggets on their squad this summer in Brazil? And what would each player’s position be? Let’s suspend disbelief for a minute and imagine what a Nuggets-centric team might look like.

Forwards: Ty Lawson, Nate Robinson, and Evan Fournier. Ty Lawson is the fastest member of the Nuggets, if not the whole NBA. He could serve as a lone striker, or you could pair him up with fellow speedster Nate Robinson and the attack becomes lightning fast.

Midfielders: Danillo Gallinari, Randy Foye, Darrel Arthur, and Wilson Chandler. The midfield all of a sudden becomes gigantic, with no player smaller than 6’3″, and all of the players are athletic. You can bet Gallo played a little football when he was a child in Italy, and he would make for a great center midfielder.
