After the Denver Nuggets changed very little about their roster and franchise make-up following last season’s disappointing playoff exit, all eyes are on the main players heading into the second season without Michael Malone as head coach. David Adelman led the Nuggets to 54 wins in his first season and survived several injuries to starters, but is that enough for the Nuggets when championships were the previously stated goal?

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn discusses Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman and how important Year 2 will be for his future. Ryan discusses balancing trust in the veterans with developing other options on the bench before wrapping up with how quickly Media Day is approaching.
