David Decker of Nugg Love evaluates the Denver Nuggets following a 5-3 start across their first eight games, identifying four stock risers and two stock fallers. Decker highlights rookie Trevon Brazile, Jamal Murray, Marvin Bagley III, and Christian Braun as key risers who have exceeded expectations with strong two-way play and efficiency.

Conversely, Decker names DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Jokic's three-point shooting as the primary stock fallers. The article notes DeRozan has struggled in a bench role, shooting 42.6% from the field and 18.2% from three, while Jokic has hit just 22.9% of his attempts from deep.
