The Denver Nuggets need more offensive help for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon has been unreliable so far.
Nugg Love writer Orel Dizon argues that Aaron Gordon can no longer serve effectively as the third scoring option for the Denver Nuggets behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Through the first nine games of the season, Denver sits at 5-4, with Gordon averaging 11.2 points while shooting a career-worst 39.5 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three-point range.
Dizon points out that Gordon is dealing with a left calf injury and showing signs of decline at 31 years old. With Denver struggling offensively and lacking reliable secondary shot creation outside of Jokic and Murray, the writer suggests the front office needs to explore ways to bolster the roster.
