The Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone toyed with the lineup of bigs Nikola Jokic, who stand 6 foot-11 inches, and Jusuf Nurkic, who is a full seven feet tall.
Apparently, he liked it enough to continue trying to out. He started with these two along with Danilo Gallinari in the front court in the Nuggets preseason opener.
According to BSN Denver, Malone said this about the lineup after practice:
“They do look for each other which is great. They’re so skilled and the great thing about Nikola is he can space the floor to three, so it’s not like we have two guys that are stuck on the block which takes away driving lanes from our perimeter players.
