However, what stood out during the preseason was the stubborn Nuggets players. David Adelman praised Aaron Gordon for once again praised his versatility.
Plus, Adelman praised Payton Watson for his ball handling during the preseason. And now yet another Nuggets young man is gaining praise. This time it’s from one of the new arrivals for the Nuggets.
Cam Johnson spoke to reporters after the Denver Nuggets practiced before the preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Johnson praised his ruthless hustle when discussing his new teammate, Christian Brown, but was most impressed with his knack for reaching his spot.
“He’s always in the right place, he plays hard, defends hard around the basket and cuts.
Christian Brown is considered by many to be the most underrated star of the Denver Nuggets. In fact, Brown defended Shy Gilgauss Alexander in the playoffs and praised his performance.
Heading into the new season, the young stars want to be impressed. Brown hopes to have a $30 million P/A deal next summer, but will need to win it with strong performances next season.
The Denver Nuggets have a strong roster next season and are expected to be in the mix for the NBA Championship.
Nikola Djokic will continue to appear at the MVP level, except for injuries and unexpected circumstances that hinder him.
If the Nugget wants to meet his championship aspirations, the roster around him must be delivered at a high level.
Nuggets are in a strong position to head into the campaign as David Adelman has a full preseason to implement his ideas.
