DeMar DeRozan’s preferred pace lines up beautifully with Nuggets offense

The Denver Nuggets' deliberate half-court offensive style is expected to align well with the playing preferences of DeMar DeRozan. Denver finished 21st in the NBA in pace last season, with transition scoring accounting for only 16.2 percent of the team's total points.

DeRozan previously developed his playmaking abilities while playing under head coach Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs and later discussed his preference for half-court distribution with coach Billy Donovan in Chicago. The article suggests DeRozan could serve effectively as a backup ball-handler behind starting guard Jamal Murray.
