The loss of Jamal Murray last season hurt the Nuggets championship hopes more than they would like to admit. Denver is in a good position because they get Murray back from an ACL tear, and they also have the reigning MVP in center Nikola Jokic. Jokic is a special player because he is a slow center but he has the most skill of any player in the league. He has eyes in the back of his head and can make any pass under the sun. He also shoots the ball efficiently and he and Murray must have telepathic players with the way they play together. Denver is an overall good team because they have shooters like Monte Morris and Michael Porter Jr. as well as great rebounders and big guys like Aaron Gordon, Paul Millsap, and Will Barton. The Nuggets signed Jeff Green during the offseason who should add another solid pro for a squad that can make a championship run.
