The Denver Nuggets just completed their most successful season in six years, as they won 54 games and made the Western Conference semifinals. Led by All-Star Nikola Jokiu0107, Denver boasts a deep, young roster that includes seven players that averaged double-figures in scoring this past season. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Denver’s 2018-19 team is that five of those seven players were under the age of 24.
The Nuggets have carefully and patiently built through the draft in recent years, which when coupled with internal player development, allowed Denver to win seven playoff games this past season despite having the eighth-youngest playoff squad in NBA history.
