The Denver Nuggets, under the leadership of GM Tim Connelly, have steadily developed one of the best young teams in the NBA. Last season, outside of Paul Millsap, 33, Will Barton, Torrey Craig and Mason Plumlee, all 28, were the team’s only rotation players that were over the age of 24. Plumlee and Craig are both in the final years of their contracts, and the Nuggets may look to move on from both in favor of developing the young core.
Head coach Michael Malone has shown a ton of loyalty to Plumlee during his time in Denver.
