Can the Denver Nuggets repeat?

The NBA Draft will be on June 22nd with Victor Wembanyama being projected as the number one selection overall.

Summer League is scheduled on July 7th to 17th.

Denver has youth on their side, though the same
could be said for the Bucks when they won the title 2 yrs ago
 
I think it will be an easy repeat for them. Unless someone figures a way to stop Jokic.
 
interesting race for ROY

chet, wenby, scoot and prolly brandon miller
 
The Charlotte hornets remain the only eastern conference team to still not make the finals. Time to sell that franchise to a better team owner

Thinking of a Denver repeat as well.

but i'm curious with OKC especially what they will be doing this upcoming draft. They have a squad in there. Love J - Dubs game.
 
19 years old Dereck Lively is now a projected top 10 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft





Dallas are projected to draft him. He might be the 2nd coming of Tyson Chandler.

7’1” 7”7” wingspan

40 inches vertical leap​​
 
Hoping fingers crossed that Cason Wallace drops to 13th to 15th ( Toronto, Atlanta , Pelicans range).
and the Spurs trade for him using Malalki (19th pick 2022) and draft captial , 2024 or 2025 1st round picks from trades to Toronto (Poertl) and Atlanta (Murray) last year..

Wallace hopefully is the PG that develops with Wembanyama, to go with starters Collins (25 yrs old) , Sochan, Vassel , 6th man Keldon.
bench Tre, Bassey , Mamu and Mcdermmot

This team can make play in tournament

IDENTICALS: GIANNIS v JOKIC
2-straight MVPs
1-FMVP

You SWAP Giannis and Jokic.... who you taking? MilwaukeeJokic? or DenverGiannis?
 
Jokic is good but I think he was helped by the NBAs move to pace space. Centers had to become lighter and shorter to be able to switch. Undersized guys like Bam can't guard him. Taller guys became finesse players like Ayton who avoid contact. I think previous All-star centers could guard him one on one and he wouldn't be able to guard them. He would have a problem with guys like Shaq and Duncan. Unfortunately, guys who had the potential to be good post threats are developed to either switchable bigs or just sealing bigs who don't really have offensive skills beyond sealing. Bam is the best example of sealing bigs. He is best when sealing and delivering passes. But he doesn't have consistent offensive skills beyond dunking. Guys like Ayton are soft. Evan Mobley is a perimeter player. Jarret Allen doesn't really have low post moves.

I think with Jokic and Nugget's success, teams will prepare for Jokic. The contender teams will try to match up with Jokic. This means bigger and stronger guys and/or two way bigs who can defend and have range on offense. Bam is neither of those. I think that's primarily why they lost.
 
Lesson learned on how to build a champion team

Denver switched out Will Barton, Monte Morris, Austin Rivers, Facundo Campazzo and Bones Hyland in favor of Caldwell-Pope, Christian Braun, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green over the course of the season. Essentially swapping out players who are more effective with the ball in their hands, for players who can defend multiple positions and be off-ball weapons. It elevated Jokic and Murray’s games, and strengthened their defense around their stars. They completely bought into the identity and it worked.
 
18 years old James Nnaji is the 3rd best Center in the 2023 NBA Draft after Vic Wembayama and Dereck Lively.
 
So all the drama surround Ja Morant's situation and NBA comm. Adam Silver give him 25 games suspension... I do think that Adam Silver is too soft regarding to this... I expected more than that, This is very serious issue and just only for f*ck*ng 25 games? It just like he was doing Load management for just couple of games, whether if it is w/ pay or w/o pay.....

The Spurs situation is they have 6 mid 1st round draft picks in next 3 years . Obviously they can't sign all of them , so they need to consolidate those via trade to trade up to around top 9 to 12 in next 3 drafts . (3 picks) to form 7 man core together with Wemby, Sochan, Vaseel and Keldon

The target for this draft is a PG, hopefully Cason Wallace or Kobe Bufkin. they have the 33rd pick , Malaki (9th best rookie 2022) and Graham as trading pieces to trade up to 12 to 15th
