As the offseason inches on, the Denver Nuggets were hit with an interesting addition to the rotation that begets new questions. DeMar DeRozan has been a starter in the NBA for a long, long time, but with the Nuggets, he’s expected to fill a sixth man role. How will that impact his minutes and usage, and will the Nuggets build a rotation around DeRozan’s scoring strengths with the second unit?
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn discusses the new rotation featuring DeMar DeRozan and how the Denver Nuggets will use the scoring veteran to bolster their second unit. He discusses the rotation combinations, some players he’s watching closely out of the reserves, and how Denver’s reputation this offseason has taken a significant tumble.
