The Denver Nuggets got a big fish in the free agency period a couple summers ago in Paul Millsap. Sadly, the Nuggets were not able to get to see his true skill set last year as he was sidelined for about 44 games with a wrist injury.
This disrupted the team chemistry and he was not 100% when he came back to action. This coming year though, his role is going to be quite different.
Millsap pulled Jokic aside last year and told him this is Nikola’s team now. This shows he is satisfied being the veteran mentor who does not always get the touches that he was used to when he was the number one option.
