Should the Denver Nuggets start Bryn Forbes next to Jamal Murray?

Bryn Forbes was a midseason acquisition for the Denver Nuggets, and he was a great pickup for a team that needed a knockdown shooter in their lineup.

Forbes is the only player on the roster with a championship under his belt after winning with the Milwaukee Bucks last season. While he did not play a lot, he did come in a hit big shots for the team that were important to them winning the championship.

A player that was groomed under legendary coach Gregg Popovich, he was one of the best 3-point shooters for the Nuggets last season with a 41 percent from the perimeter last season.

He may not be the most ideal player for the starting lineup, but he could space the floor out and could be a key reason why the Nuggets would have one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league next season.

The last time he got a full-time starting opportunity was the 2018-19 season, and he posted his career-high 11.8 points per game in a season. If he could get those same opportunities on this team, he could be an underrated reason why the team would make a deep playoff push next season.
