The vibes at Denver Nuggets media day 2022 were exceptional, undisturbed, and focused as Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the rest of the Mile High crew zero in on a hopeful championship run with a healthy and stacked roster to begin the season.
Head coach Michael Malone has a veteran lineup to work with and some added sizzle with names like Bones Hyland and Michael Porter Jr. ready to cook defenders on the offensive end. Jokic’s experience and laid-back nature have everyone, including the versatile Blue Arrow and Denver media members, at peace entering the 2022-23 campaign.
The Nuggets’ challenge this year will be keeping such a lethal rotation healthy for the length of the season and dialing in the chemistry with some new faces like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown in time for a daunting playoff push. One that could certainly include a rematch with the revamped Golden State Warriors that just disposed of Denver in five games last postseason without James Wiseman.
