Tanking

Does tanking even work?

Some teams tank to get a high draft pick and succeed, while others tank and end up drafting a bust.

Tanking is and has been a very controversial topic for NBA fans. It is usually a 50/50 split as to whether people like tanking or not. It definitely isn’t something looked at as a good idea, as it can come with its risks.

As for the Nuggets, Coach Malone has repeatedly said and demonstrating that he is strictly against tanking and doesn’t like it at all.

Tanking in this year’s draft isn’t the greatest of ideas as well, as the draft is one of the deeper drafts in recent history, but tanking can still have its benefits as well.

Bear in mind that this year’s draft will be full of franchise altering talent, so it is worth the consideration.

As stated earlier, one more piece to solidify this young core would benefit this franchise greatly in multiple areas.
