## Resource

The Nuggets’ biggest offseason upgrade might be Alpha Diallo — a six-foot-seven EuroLeague Best Defender who’s poised to fix their collapsing defense. After plummeting from 8th to 21st in defensive rankings, Denver brings in Diallo, the top-ranked forward in points allowed per possession and a proven pick-and-roll stopper, capable of guarding every position on the floor. With limited defensive depth, he’s expected to play heavy minutes and could be the anchor that turns their fortunes around — potentially the most vital move of the season.
