Summary

The Denver Nuggets are currently enjoying their offseason while the NBA Finals are set to start tomorrow. It feels like their is a narrative circulating that Jokic was NOT good during these playoffs and I want to discuss how/or why that may or may not be true. The Nuggets are banking on internal development but if this plan is going to work they need some VERY specific kind of development from within the roster. How can Adelman help speed this along? Christian Braun and Peyton Watson are extension eligible. How should those extensions be handled? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

0:00.0	Well, the Denver Nuggets continue to enjoy the offseason.
0:06.0	Nikola Yokic, there is an interesting storyline that is developing that I think is both rooted in some disappointment with the shot making and the turnover with Yokic.

0:34.7	But also, the Denver Nuggets, they're banking on internal development.
