H1 Choice- Denver Nuggets

For my choice blog this week, I am going to write about my favorite NBA team in the Western Conference; the Denver Nuggets. Two years ago, the Nuggets traded away the best small forward in the league, Carmelo Anthony, as well as Chauncey Billups and later in the season, they traded their star big man, Nene. Now, without a star caliber player, most people would think that the Nuggets would end up being a last place team the west. But instead, the Nuggets have done what few other teams have ever accomplished. The Nuggets have a roster full of solid players, without extreme egos. The usual starting lineup for the Nuggets consists of Ty Lawson, who is considered their franchise point guard. He is a tiny guy, only 5’11, but he uses his quickness, skilled passing, and excellent 3 point ability to be successful. At the shooting guard position, the Nuggets have Andre Igoduala. He is a solid offensive and defensive player, who excels with passing and dunking ability. At the small forward is the Italian born Danilo Gallinari. He is another good 3 point shooter. The power forward is young gun Kenneth Faried. Faried is a sophomore this year, and he excels by throwing down big dunks on fast breaks, and he is also a solid rebounder. The center spot goes to a freak of an athlete in Javale McGee. He has nowhere to go but up, and he will grow into that star center that head coach George Karl is looking for. The sixth men are Andre Miller, an experienced point guard with great passing abilities, a young guard/forward in Jordan Hamilton, who is a great offensive player. Next is Evan Fournier, the rookie from France, who is a solid shooter, and the last major contribute is Wilson Chandler, an all-around small forward.
