3. SG/SF/PF Wilson Chandler
Yes, Wilson Chandler is a SG/SF/PF — AKA the ultimate hybrid — and that’s what makes him so important. In fact, as I wrote last week, Chandler may be the key to the Nuggets taking a much further leap than anyone expects.
As a guy who can play all three of the wing positions, Chandler is going to be critical in every one of the Nuggets lineups, and there could be a lot.
Michael Malone has options on options on options. Want to play big? Stick Nurkic and Jokic in at center and power forward, keep Gallo at the three and slide Chandler back down to the two-guard. Small? Put Faried and Chandler up front, play Harris at the three and fill out the guard spots with Mudiay and Nelson.
I can think of about five or six other intriguing, explosive lineups, and every one of them includes Wilson Chandler.
