The Denver Nuggets already have the skill to make the playoffs, but outside of development and health, what else must they do?

Personally, I am a huge advocate of chemistry. I wholeheartedly believe that it does wonders on the court. Only actually ball players will understand the true impact of chemistry is.

To make good chemistry, it is just not who the players are but more importantly how they play.

According to the Ryan Blackburn, a writer for the Denver Stiffs, Mike Malone said this about the power forward position:

“There’s a lot of speculation about that. Obviously, we have Kenneth Faried, who is a tremendous player. At the end of the season, we kinda toyed around… experimented with a big lineup with Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic playing together. And we have guys like Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler who are more than capable of playing the 4.”

Obviously, one of the keys to this upcoming season is to see development. But, this storyline about the starting power forward should be one for every Denver fan to watch.

When this settles out and the season begins, the winner of this position will be able to have a huge impact on the starts to each game. This player tag-teaming with the other starters could be a huge to key to the Nuggets success.
