What's NEW With The Nuggets So Far
Summary
The Nuggets signed Ryan Nembhard to a two-way contract, waiving KJ Simpson, a move the hosts debate given Nembhard's shooting limitations. The team also confirmed Marvin Bagley III will serve as the backup center, sparking discussion about his fit in the "dunker spot" and the impact on other big men. A key focus is the new defensive strategy of crashing offensive rebounds to disrupt fast breaks, a concept detailed by coach David Adelman.
