Aaron Gordon keeps the wheels turning for Nuggets when he’s at full strength

Writer David Decker highlights Aaron Gordon's strong start to the preseason, arguing that a healthy Gordon serves as the crucial glue guy for the Denver Nuggets. Gordon impressed across Denver's first two preseason games, including a 12-point outing in 10 minutes and an 18-point performance in 15 minutes during a 117-106 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Decker emphasizes that Gordon complements Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray by providing elite interior defense, improved three-point shooting, and court spacing. Gordon has reportedly adjusted his training and recovery regimen this season to maintain his health and maximize Denver's lineup.
