This coming season will show us what this Denver Nuggets squad is truly made of.

To say the end of last season was heart breaking for the Denver Nuggets would be the understatement of the year.

Not only did they lose in overtime while losing the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, they also lost to a division rival in the Minnesota Timberwolves. This year should be different however.

The Nuggets are ready to shine and show their rebuild process is officially complete and they are ready to jump to phase two.

They will be getting Paul Millsap back at 100% at the beginning of the year and Isaiah Thomas was their big home run hit in free agency this past summer. Thomas will lead the second unit to start the season.

Not to mention, Michael Porter Jr., their lottery pick who fell all the to 14th in the NBA Draft, could see some time this season if his recovery goes well. You know, the kid who has been drawing comparisons to Kevin Durant ever since he got drafted.

Jamal Murray and Gary Harris have started to solidify themselves as one of up and coming back courts in not just the competitive Western Conference, but the entire NBA as well.

Nikola Jokic is back and this time, with a fresh new contract and will compose 50% of what will be the best front court in the league with the return of a healthy Paul Millsap. Millsap may be older now, but he is not a four time All Star for no reason, even if it was in the Eastern Conference. It is still something of value to point to on his resume.
