In the 100th episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn shares his thoughts on the Denver Nuggets loss to the Boston Celtics in the second summer league game, including the debut of Bones Hyland and the return of Zeke Nnaji. Ryan shares his thoughts on those two, Bol Bol’s strong performance, and notes on other players making an impression. Then, Ryan discusses the backup center debate, from why the Nuggets haven’t gone with a traditional backup to who makes the most sense as the primary relief option for Nikola Jokiu0107 in the regular season.
After a blowout loss in their first summer league game on Sunday night, the Denver Nuggets take the floor again tonight for a matchup against the Boston Celtics.
