Nuggets Postgame: What did we learn about Jokic & Denver’s depth in Abu Dhabi?

Nikola Jokic looked like an NBA MVP in both preseason games for the Denver Nuggets in Abu Dhabi. Russell Westbrook didn’t play in the 2nd game but we still saw what kind of impact he will have alongside Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon. And we got our first look at Dario Saric.

The DNVR Nuggets podcast team breaks down their takeaways from the first 2 Denver Nuggets preseason games including grades for Zeke Nnaji, Hunter Tyson, and Julian Strawther. And ask whether they should be encouraged or discouraged by Jamal Murray’s conditioning and assertiveness. Christian Braun’s 3-point shot, Michael Malone’s approach, Jokic’s aggressiveness, and other Denver Nuggets takeaways.

Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, Duvalier Johnson, and D-Line Co. come to you LIVE to break down everything you need to know in this editon of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast!

  1. If Jokic's wrist remains healthy he's even that more lethal because now he's stretching the floor as a big. He looks great.

  2. Mares saying they couldn’t keep Holiday cause he played over PWat and Braun is just blatantly wrong he played 800 less minutes than PWat during the season. PWat sucked the last two months of the season and sucked in the playoffs so Holiday started playing more. That’s the point of having veteran depth! Just so insane to spin everything as Malone’s fault.

  3. Murray is becoming annoying… i can see Nuggets fire Malone at the end of the season, and trade Murray after next season tbh..

  4. Did I hear it right? Are we suppose to believe that our shooting guard can be around 38% while he is WIDE OPEN and we can meaningfully compete? what is this? BTW he has no confidence in PO, nobody guards him on the perimeter and he's 20%, both seasons…again that's our starting shooting guard…starter (and the first sub is Westbrook :D) this team is built the right way 😀 😀

  5. I think you guys will be fine.

    What i saw on Friday with mostly a fully available roster, minus Watson, is more indicative of what your squad can do.

    Not having Gordon, Porter Jr, Watson, Westbrook, and Jordan means you are going deep into your bench and those are probably more like G League level players.

    Tough 0-2 preseason start but i think you will be either #1 or #2 in the west again.
