Balkan buddy ball indeed. Three games into the preseason and coach Michael Malone shouldn’t have to think too much more about who should be his starting power forward once the regular season begins. Who’s going to play emergency center, who plays PG if Jameer Nelson gets hurt, how does he find minutes for all those shooting guards, those are questions he needs to answer, starting power forward though is clear. The answer is Nikola Jokic. Ironically, the reason Jokic should start at power forward has little to do with the play of the Serbian big game so far this preseason and even less to do with the play of incumbent starter Kenneth Faried.
It’s time for Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone to unleash the Jurkic
