The rebuilding continues to Denver as the pieces obtained in the Carmelo Anthony trade continue to develop. Danilo Gallinari appears a star in the making and Ty Lawson is developing into a solid PG. Nene has been dealt for JaVale McGee, so whether or not Karl can get through to him will be a key.
Arron Afflalo has yet to live up to the contract he signed in the offseason but should develop into a solid SG, so the biggest needs for the Nuggets going forward appear to be at C and young bench depth.
