Denver Nuggets
Projected Depth Chart:
PG Anthony Carter/Chucky Atkins
SG Allen Iverson/J.R. Smith
SF Carmelo Anthony/Sonny Weems/Renaldo Balkman
PF Kenyon Martin/Linas Kleiza
C Nene/Chris Andersen/Steven Hunter
The chemistry is clearly not there. Denver Nuggets coach George Karl wants Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony to pass more and their point guard Anthony Carter is no good. Iverson could fill in at point guard although historically that hasn’t worked well.
The Nuggets barely took the final spot of the playoffs before being embarrassed by the Los Angeles Lakers in a 4-0 sweep. That shouldn’t diminish a terrific 50-32 record, which they could easily pull off again, but a good regular season team simply won’t be good enough against the best teams in the Western Conference.
The most expendable player by far is Iverson, but he is aging and he’s no longer a guy you can build your team around. J.R. Smith is good enough to start and probably needs to given how productive he has been for Denver, but until Iverson is traded, it doesn’t seem practical for Smith to get the starting nod.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Projected Depth Chart:
PG Randy Foye/Sebastian Telfair
SG Rashad McCants/Corey Brewer
SF Mike Miller/Rodney Carney
PF Kevin Love/Mark Madsen/Craig Smith
C Al Jefferson/Calvin Booth/Jason Collins
Consider this year two AG (After Garnett). The Timberwolves acquired Mike Miller and Kevin Love from the Grizzlies of O.J. Mayo.
