The Denver Nuggets will have a new-look starting lineup this season. Their biggest roster hole is someone they recently got rid of.
According to Ben Golliver of ESPN, the Denver Nuggets' biggest roster weakness is the absence of versatile forward Peyton Watson. The Nuggets traded Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers in an August sign-and-trade deal, leaving the squad without his multi-positional defense and perimeter shooting alongside franchise star Nikola Jokic.
Writer Ryan Stano notes that while Denver signed 37-year-old DeMar DeRozan to add durable bench depth, the roster faces perimeter defense concerns. Additionally, Christian Braun must take on a larger offensive role following an injury-plagued season, particularly as the second-apron luxury tax limits Denver's mid-season trade flexibility.
