The Nuggets forwards remain a strong position group, as they have been for much of the Nikola Jokić era. Between Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones, and Trevon Brazile, Denver has ideal complimentary players for Jokić and Jamal Murray. While Gordon’s health has been a concern in the past and Johnson underperformed last year, there is still a lot of upside at the forward position.
