The Denver Nuggets haven't had a great start to the season.
At just 8-14 at the quarter pole, the Nuggets have experienced some serious growing pains to start the year.
That was to be expected, particularly given the youth of the roster and all the injuries that have forced Michael Malone's hand. Given everything that's happened early on this year, how would you grade Denver's performance thus far?
Here's Adam Fromal from Bleacher Report with more:
"Part of the issue is injuries, as the frontcourt has been absolutely ravaged by one malady after another. Jusuf Nurkic, viewed as one of the franchise cornerstones, has yet to make his season debut, while Joffrey Lauvergne (back) has missed significant time.
As such, it's hard to truly evaluate Denver at this point.
The Nuggets are sinking toward the bottom of the Western Conference, but they're using the proper pieces—among those available—all the while. There has to be some solace in that, despite the exceedingly poor nature of the current on-court product.
Grade: C
