If the surrounding talent in the division and conference wasn’t so strong, I would consider more wins for the team. Unfortunately, so is the rest of the Western Conference. RK: The Nuggets are a quality team with very good blossoming talent. I think they’ll be strong defensively and keep the fast-paced, team-scoring identity since they won’t have a player to go get them 22 points per game. They have talent, but they are a very young team still trying to establish themselves and learn how to win consistently in the NBA.ĭJ: I think they will be a sixth or seventh seed that will be in a very close fight at the end but sustain their spot. From there, I think Denver can be anywhere from as high as the fifth seed and as low as the eighth seed, or even out of the playoff picture for that matter. There are four teams definitively better than them: The Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma City Thunder. If Jamal Murray takes a leap, then it could be even better.ĪP: The Nuggets are an interesting team with regard to the rest of the Western Conference. Where will the Nuggets finish in the standings and why? There’s purely too much talent to have space for any other Nuggets, and Jokic’s flashy passes and exciting style of play will generate enough votes to get him in. RK: Jokic will be the lone all-star for the Nuggets. Either Paul Millsap or Nikola Jokic.ĪP: When it’s all said and done, I think the Nuggets will have two all-star level players in Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap however, only one will make the cut due to the overwhelming amount of talent in the league. JM: The Nuggets will have one All-Star, at most. 7 seed How many All-Stars will the Nuggets have this season? As the season gets rolling, the Nuggets scribes here at Mile High Sports take a moment to preview what this season has in store for Denver. The Denver Nuggets open up the 2017-18 season Wednesday night in Utah against the Jazz.
