Nikola Jokić powers so much of the Denver offense, he often makes up for the lack of depth among the Nuggets guards. This week on Late Night Nuggets, Ryan Blackburn breaks the roster into four position groups: guards, wings, forwards, and bigs. Jamal Murray has proven he is a top-ten guard in the NBA. Tyus Jones and KJ Simpson, on the other hand, both joined the Nuggets late last season and remain largely unproven.
