11 Monte Morris
Guard | 26 | 6-foot-2 | 183 pounds With the keys to the offense in his hands, Morris has a golden opportunity in front of him. The steady, pass-first guard has been among the most reliable backup point guards in the NBA for the last three seasons. Jamal Murray’s injury creates an opening for Morris to steer an elite offense and prove he’s more than capable of holding down a starter’s job in the NBA. Expect him to rise to the occasion.
5 Will Barton
Guard | 30 | 6-6 | 181 The word trickling out of training camp was that Barton had his legs back. An ankle injury slowed his preseason progress, but Barton played in the final two games and looked lively. Barton, himself, has said this is the healthiest he’s felt in two seasons. If that translates to the court, and he can stay healthy, his new two-year deal will have been worth it.
1 Michael Porter Jr.
Forward | 23 | 6-10 | 218 Porter’s role within the team’s hierarchy has grown each of the past two seasons. This year, without Nikola Jokic’s running mate, his job will elevate once again. Porter’s responsibilities include stretching the floor, creating off the dribble, moving without the ball and rebounding. Defensively, the team needs more incremental improvement, communication and awareness. It’s a lot to ask, but his max contract suggests a belief he can match those goals.
35 P.J. Dozier
Guard | 24 | 6-6 | 205 Dozier is one of the unsung swing pieces of the season. His versatility makes him a favorite of coach Michael Malone, and he’s still got plenty of room to grow his game. With his length, Dozier can comfortably check guards and forwards. Offensively, expect to see him as a ball-handler, spot-up shooter, rebounder and cutter. If he can stay healthy — a theme of this Nuggets roster — he’ll be in line for a contract extension this spring.
0 JaMychal Green
Forward | 31 | 6-8 | 227 With Paul Millsap in Brooklyn, Green no longer has to look over his shoulder and wonder if he’ll be playing. Malone values his toughness, defense, rebounding and physicality. If he can consistently knock down his 3-point looks, he’ll likely be one of the anchors of the second unit.
00 Markus Howard
Guard | 22 | 5-10 | 175 Howard, one of the Nuggets’ two two-way players, can catch fire in a hurry. His 31 points in the team’s final preseason game against Oklahoma City was a testament to his long-range shooting acumen. Similar to last season, Howard could be called upon in the event of an emergency in the backcourt. Until then, he’ll likely develop further in the G League.
3 Bones Hyland
Guard | 21 | 6-2 | 169 Has any rookie injected more excitement into Denver’s rotation over the last several years than Hyland? The VCU product plays downhill, with outstanding pace and aggression. His approach puts pressure on the defense, and he’s not scared of the moment. Following an excellent training camp, Malone has all but said he’s going to see what Hyland can do in the regular season.
The 2021–22 Denver Nuggets season was the 46th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the franchise's 55th season of existence overall. The Nuggets entered the season after a second-round loss at the hands of the eventual Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns . [1]
