The Denver Nuggets only won 30 games during the 2014-15 season, but then 20-year-old rookie center Jusuf Nurkic was one of the bright spots for them.
The Nuggets have been on a consistent search for a center ever since Marcus Camby left. They have gone through players such as Nene (more a power forward than center), JaVale McGee (just the name alone gives me chills up my spine) and Timofey Mozgov (good, but traded).
But now, Denver may have found their next center of the future in the 6’11” youngster from Bosnia.
After the Nuggets traded away starting center Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks, they thrusted the young Nurkic into the starting lineup.
