It’s the off-season for the Denver Nuggets, a down-time for the players.

Last season, we were blessed to see the break-out performances of Nikola Jokic and Gary Harris. While the Nuggets may not have been a playoff team, there are a few players primed to show out next year. I love the young core that GM Tim Connelly has put into place, and it should be a fun time in the future.

Whether it’s a young player that is looking to make their names known, or a vet who wants to rejuvenate his career, the Nuggets have plenty of potential play makers. While the playoffs were not reached this year, it’s never too early to look at next season. The Nuggets will look to improve and make the playoffs next season, and it starts here.

DISCLAIMER: Before you assume that Jokic and Harris could be on here, they will not be. They had their break-out seasons already, so they will not make this list.
