One of the joys of Denver’s offense is that they rely quite heavily on their front court players to do things that are typically reserved for wings and guards. Nikola Jokic has been called a point center, as has his understudy, Mason Plumlee. There is a herky-jerky style to Paul Millsap’s game that sometimes looks awkward or off-rhythm but that disguises a very fundamental skill set that includes the ability to handle the ball, pass on the move, and orchestrate the offense from every spot on the court.
Trey Lyles is 6’10” and possesses many of the traits required to be a skilled big.
