The Denver Nuggets’ offense isn’t built around 3-point shooting.
While teams such as the Houston Rockets have found success by deploying an offense focused on 3-pointers and shots at the rim, the Nuggets have continued to thrive in a more balanced attack. Given the skill sets of their best offensive players (Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokiu0107), Denver is able to score from all areas on the court and certainly isn’t afraid to mix it up from time to time.
However, it is also no secret the 3-pointer plays a significant role in today’s NBA. Teams continue to take and make more threes each year than the year before, a trend that will likely continue in the 2019-20 season.
