Coach Michael Malone has made it official that Jameer Nelson is the new starting point guard for the Denver Nuggets.
This decision has generated a lot of debate within Nuggets Nation about this decision. I am probably in the minority here, but I think the move is a genius one. Keep in mind Mudiay has been battling back spasms lately and was having a below average year before that.
Plus, while Nelson may make some head scratching plays at times, he has been surprisingly clutch at times this season as well. I firmly think Malone is playing the psychology card here as it will hopefully make Emmanuel Mudiay hungrier to get back in the starting rotation.
