#6 Darrell Arthur (PF) FG Efficiency 45.2%

Last season, Arthur saw his biggest role yet as a professional in the NBA.

Clocking over 20 minutes per-game, for only the second time in his 7 active years as a pro, must have put some pressure on Arthur. T

his seemed to help the PF, as he put up the highest FG% of his career as a Nugget. Arthur was able to play smart basketball, and average a respectable FG% as a PF.

45.2% is nothing to talk about on ESPN, but it did show a better than average efficiency for Arthur. His career FG% is 44.4%, so he didn’t necessarily have a great season of shooting. But still, being able to slightly outdo his season average, despite a significantly larger role, shows reliability.

Arthur saw a nice contract extension from the Nuggets in this off-season. This shows Denver’s confidence in his ability to play smart, reliable basketball.

Arthur may even see himself as a start soon enough also.
