While the Denver Nuggets are fueled by a seven-foot, Serbian big man, the team’s quality depth at both guard positions played a defining role in the 2018-19 season. With all four of Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Monte Morris and Malik Beasley back for the 2019-20 season, the hope is that internal player development will continue for each of them and further boost the team’s perimeter play.
Heading into the 2018-19 season, there wasn’t an expectation or assumption that Monte Morris and Malik Beasley would develop into a deadly duo off the bench for Denver. After all, Morris had played in just three games during his rookie season, while Beasley was still working on finding his role on the team as he entered his third campaign.
