Shooting Guards:

Starter – Gary Harris

More from Nugg Love

An underrated, elite three-and-D guy, Harris fits perfectly with Denver’s facilitators. He is third among NBA guards in combined volume, efficiency and consistency (ESPN) offensively…trailing only Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Harris will lock up opposing guards and splash his silky jumper as Denver’s best two-way player.

Key reserve – Torrey Craig

A rags-to-riches story, Craig joins Harris and Millsap as Denver’s top defenders. He combines size, strength and tenacity to throttle the likes of Kevin Durant and Paul George. Craig will see time at shooting guard and small forward.

Little used – Malik Beasley

A puzzling conundrum, Beasley dominates Summer Leagues and then does nothing past October. An athletically-gifted workout warrior, Malik is a player to watch closely. Although he sits behind Craig in the rotation, he possess two-way potential that could explode any day.
