Media Day Nuggets: Hernangomez and Chandler at backup power forward

Several nuggets of information from the Denver Nuggets Media Day will be released as we hear them here on Denver Stiffs. One of the early interesting ones is that head coach Michael Malone would like both Juancho Hernangomez and Wilson Chandler to get playing time at the backup power forward position behind starter Paul Millsap.

Malone says he wants to play Juancho at backup 4 this year a lot. Likes Wilson as a stretch 4 as well.

This is not unexpected, as both men are combo forwards as well as good stretch options to help spread the defense for the bench unit.
