Nuggets have better options than cutting Trevon Brazile’s minutes for Spencer Jones

Writer David Decker argues that the Denver Nuggets should maintain Trevon Brazile's role rather than reducing his playing time to accommodate Spencer Jones. Jones is set to make his season debut against the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City following a preseason hamstring injury. In his absence, Brazile has averaged 8.0 points and 6.4 rebounds across 22.1 minutes per game while serving as Denver's backup power forward under head coach David Adelman.

Decker suggests the Nuggets should instead reduce minutes for DeMar DeRozan or Tyus Jones. The writer notes that DeRozan's presence clogs the offense and spacing alongside Nikola Jokic, proposing that Jones and Brazile offer better three-point shooting and defensive versatility to support the rotation.
