Which Nuggets’ player is due for a breakout season?

Last season, we saw Nikola Jokic and Gary Harris take great strides for the Nuggets. Now, many wonder who is due for a breakout year this coming season.

The Denver Nuggets possess a plethora of young talent on their roster. Last year, Nikola Jokic emerged as the clear cut franchise center piece going forward and Gary Harris made a terrific jump in offensive production.

Now, many are wondering which player is most likely to make a big jump this coming season. There is a multitude of players on this roster who have a chance. From a young talent like Jamal Murray to a veteran in Wilson Chandler who will finally get a chance in the starting rotation, there are many possibilities.

Here is who I think will be the most likely to make a big jump for the Nuggets. The man is Wilson Chandler.

Chandler has been somewhat overshadowed by Danilo Gallinari during his time in the Mile High. With Gallo now out of the picture, he will have a golden opportunity to showcase his talents. On top of this, Chandler is nearing the end of his contract with Denver and will be auditioning for a big contract from potential suitors. With how versatile he is, the line will be plenty long when it comes time to woo Chandler as a free agent.

Not to mention, he will have plenty to prove to the organization. The last couple of years, there has been rumors talking about him wanting to be traded due to him being unhappy with his role. With him now being inserted into the starting rotation, this is his chance to prove to Denver they should have given him this role a long time ago.

Chandler has always been a solid player throughout his career, but do not be surprised if his production skyrockets this coming year.
