Denver Nuggets' Recipe for Success, with Adam Mares | DNVR Nuggets AND ONE
Summary
Hosts Miroslav and Adam the Giant analyze the Nuggets' preseason performance, focusing on the mystery of the bench unit and DeMar DeRozan's limited minutes. They discuss Julian Strus's potential as a trade chip, Jamal Murray's playoff readiness, and Christian Brown's critical role as a fulcrum in the offense. The conversation also covers the team's identity as neither fast nor big, the importance of second-side actions for Cam Johnson, and the small-sample nature of evaluating Jokic's three-point shooting in the postseason.
