There have been many talented players in the history of the Nuggets.

I have been thinking about the talent in Nuggets history, especially given that the popular NBA 2k series has come out with some all-time rosters for each NBA team. This topic actually led me to thinking about the best passers that have ever been in a Nuggets uniform.

While he may be in the first picture, Nikola Jokic is not on this list. As much as I would have liked to put him on here, he needs to do it for a longer period of time to get that honor. Now, do I think that Jokic could become one of the better passers in Nuggets history? Well, that’s up for debate, but I do think that it is entirely possible.

So now that that’s out-of-the-way, who is left? Let’s get started with number five.

DISCLAIMER: I will be using basketball-reference to look at the all-time assist leader board for the Nuggets.
