The unexpected success of the Denver Nuggets’ reserve backcourt in Monte Morris and Malik Beasley was a big reason why the team saw its win total increase by eight in the 2018-19 season.
Morris and Beasley averaged under four points in the previous campaign but both guards took advantage of consistent playing time to showcase their improvement. In order for the Nuggets to build on this past season, both will need to continue their development. Morris and Beasley both believe increased focus on offseason conditioning could be important in elevating their games.
“[I] want to gain a lot of pounds, for my core to be stronger and my legs to be stronger too,” Beasley said on Monday before lowering his voice and adding with a grin.
