As the season draws closer, the Nuggets will look to fill one of the more competitive spots in the starting line-up.

The Nuggets have plenty of options to start for the team at the point guard position. The real question is, who should they give it to? There are two younger options available, or they could go for the seasoned veteran.

Whatever direction they decide to take will have its ups and downs, so it should be a fun battle come preseason. Today, however, I have decided that I do not want to wait until preseason. I will be thinking as if I am in Michael Malone’s position, and deciding who should start at the point guard.

With each player comes pros and cons, so get ready, because it starts now. (Also, I have omitted Monte Morris from this list because he is currently on a two-way contract.)
