Nuggets Season Preview 2022-23
The Denver Nuggets are coming off of a season that was filled with injuries. Despite that, the team jumped on two-time MVP Nikola Jokic’s back and still managed to make the playoffs with a 48-34 record, finishing sixth in the Western Conference.
The good news is the Nuggets are expected to be back at full health this season as Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are expected to return. The last time we saw Murray during the 2020-21 season he averaged 21.2 points and 4.8 assists while shooting 40.8% from three.
Porter played in nine games last season and averaged 9.9 points and 6.6 rebounds, but when he was healthy during the 2020-21 season he averaged 19.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
With the injuries last season, young players like Bones Hyland and even veteran Will Barton got chances to step up. In his rookie season, Hyland averaged 10.1 points and 2.8 assists. Barton had one of the best seasons of his career averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
During the offseason, the team also added a couple of veterans in Bruce Brown, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Ish Smith that could make an impact. With the Nets last season Brown averaged 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game.
KCP is coming off of a bounce-back season with the Wizards as he averaged 13.2 points while shooting 39% from three. Smith will give the Nuggets some extra depth at point guard and is capable of being a spark off the bench when needed.
The Nuggets also bring back impact veterans like Aaron Gordon and Jeff Green who had nice seasons last year. Gordon averaged 15.0 points and 5.9 rebounds in 75 games last season. Green gave the team 10.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game last season.
With the Nuggets getting healthy and the additional pieces that they’ve added they could be one of the deepest teams in the league this season. With all of that factored in Denver could be a prime candidate to make a jump up the Western Conference standings this season.
Not that it will be easy as the west is crowded with the Warriors, Clippers, Suns, Mavericks, and Grizzlies all coming back at full strength. Despite that, the Nuggets will certainly be a team to watch this season.
