State of the Denver Nuggets

One night the Denver Nuggets are getting run out of the building like their socks are on fire. The next, they are tearing apart the best teams in the NBA.

The state of the Nuggets, in a scientific and collaborative estimation, is unstable. Indeterminate. Unknown.

Denver is a smorgasbord of pieces. They don’t contain any “Super-Stars”; no players that can put the rest of the team on their shoulders and just flat-out go at the snap of a finger, but yet they also don’t have a player that can go cold just as easily, find a reason to lose interest as the team falls flat.

Aaron Affalo (13.9 ppg, 2.7 rpg), Danilo Galinari (15.2 ppg, 4.9 rpg), Ty Lawson (15.1 ppg, 6.7 apg), Wilson Chandler (12.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg), Andre Miller (10.1 ppg, 6.4 apg), Al Harrington (14.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg), Kenneth Faried (9.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg) and Corey Brewer (9.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg) are all comparable. They are by no means All-Stars, but they are solid additions to any team in the association. The Nuggets are made up a bunch of role players, surrounded by other role players, feeding, once again, off other role players. The sum of its part is no simple algorithm.
