Can He Come Off the Bench?

Making a former starter come off the bench is a tricky proposition. It would take some tact on the part of the coaching staff and front office to pull it off. There are many who would love to see that Manimal energy come in against a NBA second unit.

He could spark the Denver Nuggets second unit even more! The Nuggets second unit is already incredible talented, and Kenneth Faried could add even more. With the second unit also having more of a rim protector in Jusuf Nurkic, Faried may fit very well there.

This is a great option but would it work and are the Nuggets ready to give Darrell Arthur, out of Kansas, a starting roll?
