4 Denver Nuggets rank in CBS’ Top 100: Are they too high, too low, or just right?

Nikola Jokic - Ranked 1st

Nikola Jokic is ranked… perfectly. He was ranked 1st last year and is still the clear best player in the entire NBA. The 7-foot Serbian is coming off of his 3rd MVP and has continued to be an iron man in the NBA, appearing in 79 regular season games last season. He averaged 26.4 PPG, 12.4 RPG, and 9.0 APG and has quietly become an underrated high-IQ defender.

He had some ups and downs in the playoffs as well, but ultimately was still the best player in the world throughout the entirety of the year. Entering his age-29 season, he is in his prime and ready to dominate yet again.

Other big men ranked in the same range: Giannis Antetokounmpo (2nd), Joel Embiid (5th), Anthony Davis (11th), and Victor Wembanyama (12th).

Which Nuggets will see their CBS rise for next year and will any new Nuggets find themselves creeping into the top 100 after getting more opportunity this year? The journey starts on October 24th against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Denver.
