Great analysis of Brodie. I see big things on the horizon for Russ, Jokic, Murray and company.

[michaelbietsch]

Honestly, If Russ had gone 0/10 I'd have still been hyped about his performance. In years past, the second Jokic sits, our players have looked like someone stole the rim off the backboard, and they spent 20 seconds of the shot clock trying to find it. Now, there is actual goals and direction, even if he can't finish, Russ is getting into the paint, collapsing defense, and making plays. Plus, his defense is solid (and will look even better next to Pwat), and he brings energy. Any points he scores is just a little bit of gravy on top.

Nice video... hope he has great success in Denver

Look at all that room on the floor with all those shooters.

You hit the nail on the head with the talk about non-Jokic minutes leader to me. Imo, what they've been sorely missing is a facilitator when Jokic isn't around. Someone who's able to get other people buckets pretty consistently. Plus his facilitation doesn't happen in the same way Jokic does it, which means other teams aren't gonna have a Jokic-light, but a completely different sort of passer/organizer to deal with, and thus their defense will have to adapt to a very different look.
Plus Westbrook brings some great guard defense, and a lot of energy besides. He feels like a great fit to me.

If he can fill the Bruce Brown role of extra ball handler, rim running, tough nose defense, and provide energy and effort Russ will be a major key in who things play out in the West. And if he has a few turn back the clock games and has a 25, 10, 11 game every once in a blue moon when the Nuggets have bad shooting nights... Nuggets might be back on top again.

With Murray, Joker and Russ able to be playmaker, Gordon is going to feasting on cuts while MPJ gets off from 3. I can see Denver coming out of the west this year if they can get past OKC.

[MARK-cbiq]

Fav player to watch. Loves Russ aggressive style of play. He has a bit of street ball game when he drives in the paint.

[ShareefusMaximus]

I predict that Russ will shoot 35% from 3 this season. I am a shooting coach and it looks like he has corrected his main problem.

[nicholasblakiston]

Spot on analysis, Russell thrives with the ball in his hands and shooters around him. He's like James Harden in that way: a system.

[uberempty]

theres always moves that bring hype to a team every season. rarely does it pan out as awesome the hype predicts. but something about this one feel sdifferent. i truly do think russ is a perfect fit for the nuggets. excited to see what happens this season

[samghost]

Russ will be that final stone to get the Nuggets to a Championship Winning Team again! Can't wait for the regular season to start! Nuggets B-Ball what a Beauty!

[pfpchad]

Reggie got traded to Denver and won a ring. Russ might be able to win his first ring in Denver. This is a great omen for Denver.

[drb]

GSW really shit the bed letting Westbrook go to Denver.

[DTHADJ]

He also will play defense! Keep goin Russ!

[Da_Realist_Inu]

nuggets were already overpowered with joker being the main distributor of the ball and Murray being off-ball and Iso now nuggets have broodie that is a mix of both.

[cjp]

Russ will finally get the Malone nuggets running... teams in Denver should lead the league in fastbreak points...

[abrahamcaballero]

Denver will win back the championship...

[corysimmons]

Russell westbrook needs to be the starting point guard

[ForTheViolence]

Preseason lol. Rim pressure from Mr dribble it off his foot and blown layups. Come on dawg.
