## Resource

Nick Richards could be the Nuggets’ low-risk, high-reward backup center solution—offering solid production, defensive presence, and a manageable contract after a season averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds. With his injury history, he’s not a guaranteed lock, but he’s used to playing 20 minutes and could thrive at 12-14, potentially staying healthier while filling crucial non-Jokic minutes. At just $5 million, he’s a prime “buy-low” target for a team desperate for stability behind Jokic. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
