'One of the Best Trios' – Denver Nuggets’ Big 3 Ranked High on Analyst’s List

According to Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz, the Denver Nuggets’ trio is the second-best across the association.

“Only one member of the Denver Nuggets’ Big 3 has ever been named to an All-Star team, which speaks more to the greatness of Nikola Jokić than anything,” Swartz wrote. “With a sparkling net rating and a championship together, however, the Nuggets still have one of the best trios in the entire NBA.”

“This Big 3 is battle-tested, possesses the best player in the world and has blended perfectly well together, even if two members don’t have the individual accolades of some other players on this list.”

The only trio that’s better than them is the Oklahoma City Thunder’s.

Denver Nuggets’ newest forward is grateful that he doesn’t have to face Nikola Jokic anymore

Having to face Nikola Jokic is a problem. He’s arguably the best player in the league and is a problem for most NBA defenses. The newest member of the Denver Nuggets, Cam Johnson, talked about his excitement about playing with the seven-time All-Star.

“Honestly a big part of it is not having to play against him no more cause he’s a problem. He’s a problem, that’s it. Period,” Johnson said.

“He can pass, he can rebound, he can score, you don’t know what you’re going to get on any given day like what mode he’s in. It’s an uncanny ability he has, the spatial awareness, just how he feels the game, how he understands the game.”

The Nuggets acquired Johnson when they traded Michael Porter Jr. and a future draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets.
