Who should be the Denver Nuggets sixth man?

Denver Nuggets: JaMychal Green has always rebounded well

JaMychal Green has a career average of 5.9 rebounds per game. The athletic big man capitalized on extended minutes for the Nuggets on Sunday against the Suns. Like Jokic, he can also hit the three-ball and find open teammates.

Green might actually have more mobility than Big Honey, especially filling the lanes on the break. Still, he needs to be more consistent to earn the regular role of first off the bench.

Ultimately, it might not matter who the regular sixth man is, as long as someone emerges to provide quality minutes. The bench unit has been a strength at times during this rollercoaster season.

If I had to choose, though, I’d go with Campazzo until Bones Hyland is back up to full speed.

Next. How long will Michael Porter Jr. be out?. dark
