Summary
The Denver Nuggets are doubling down on their core, keeping their starting lineup intact for another championship push — and that means DeMar DeRozan is stepping into a new role: bench scorer. Assistant coach Ognjen Stojakovic sees it as a strategic win, leveraging DeRozan’s elite scoring ability to ignite the second unit. For the 17-year vet, who’s spent nearly his entire career starting, this is a major adjustment — but he’s ready, adaptable, and laser-focused on winning. With key scorers like Hardaway Jr. and Watson gone, DeRozan’s proven offensive firepower fills the void perfectly, giving the Nuggets the depth they need to stay elite. It’s a bold move — but one that could be the key to their title hopes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
