|
| | | DENVER: GUARDS: TY LAWSON is turning into something of a one-man army as the roster around him crumbles. As good as he is as a quick playmaker who can knock down an open three, his supporting cast is lacking . . . EVAN FOURNIER is better than RANDY FOYE now, and he's certainly a bigger part of Denver's future. Fournier proved surprisingly ready for the NBA last season. While Foye brings more scoring power to a team that suddenly lacks offense, he's both inefficient and one-dimensional . . . NATE ROBINSON will provide instant offense and lead the second unit . . . ANDRE MILLER will lose a few minutes this year, but the 37-year-old still has good basketball left. FORWARDS: Coming off a late-season ACL tear, DANILO GALLINARI will be lucky to make it back by December . . . KENNETH FARIED will likely never develop into anything more than an energy guy and high-volume rebounder, but he's good at what he does . . . WILSON CHANDLER can shoot and defend multiple positions. With Gallinari a question mark, he could be in for a much bigger role this year . . . DARRELL ARTHUR is an interesting second-unit player. He's an athlete who was starting to show some skill in Memphis before getting hurt . . . Gunning wingman JORDAN HAMILTON may get a longer look in the second half of the season . . . QUINCY MILLER is likely ticketed for more D-League action . . . ANTHONY RANDOLPH is a lost cause. CENTERS: The time has arrived for JAVALE MCGEE. The front office wants him on the floor full-time. For all the knucklehead plays, he's still an incredible athlete in a massive 7-foot frame . . . Talk of J.J. HICKSON potentially starting is absurd. A brutal defender unable to play within the flow of an offense, he's a second-unit talent . . . TIMOFEY MOZGOV is Plan B behind McGee. The 7-footer can defend and set screens. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season. |

*Nuggets-Wizards Preview* =========================
By ELI KABERON STATS Writer
Denver (12-8) at Washington (9-10), 7:00 p.m. EDT
After finally getting their first-round pick on the court, the Washington Wizards are looking to get back to .500.
Washington, which had won seven of nine following a sluggish start to the season, will try to get back on track Monday in a home matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
The Wizards opened with seven losses in their first nine games before an exact reversal of that stretch evened their record after last Monday's 98-80 win over Orlando.
Washington (9-10) slipped in its previous contest, losing 109-105 in overtime on Friday against Eastern Conference-worst Milwaukee.
The setback did have its bright spot, however, with Otto Porter Jr. making his Wizards debut after being selected third overall in June. Porter, who missed the first 18 games because of a hip injury, played 14 minutes but missed all three of his field goal attempts. He went scoreless with two rebounds and an assist.
"My first game, first time playing in the NBA, something I've been waiting my whole life for," Porter said. "It was pretty cool. I was excited myself. Come out, get a couple minutes in, get my feet wet a little bit."
Porter's presence won't solve any lingering issue for the Wizards, who are allowing 100.2 points and 44.1 rebounds per game - both ranking among the worst in the league.
Washington's post defense was poor against the Bucks, who had 52 points in the paint.
"The defense was atrocious," Wizards coach Randy Whitman said. "We allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do."
John Wall had 30 points and eight assists for Washington, which needs to step up on the defensive end against an up-tempo Denver team that is sixth in the league with a 104.0 scoring average. The Nuggets are also strong on the glass with 46.1 rebounds per game.
Denver (12-8) improved to 3-2 on its six-game eastern trip with a 103-92 comeback victory in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Slow starts have been an issue during the trip for the Nuggets, who surprisingly have trailed after the first quarter in all five games. Denver is averaging 27.1 points in the opening period this season - fourth-most in the NBA.
Strong play from their reserves has helped the Nuggets recover from the early stumbles. Nate Robinson came off the bench and scored a team-high 20 points against the 76ers, while fellow reserve Jordan Hamilton chipped in 13.
Both players were key in the fourth quarter, when Denver outscored Philadelphia 26-15 to pull away. Hamilton hit a trio of 3-pointers in a 67-second span after the Sixers had pulled within four.
"He's been doing that for us. He spaces the floor," Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said of Hamilton. "We finally got some movement when our guards started to attack, their defense started to converge and he found the open windows."
The Nuggets' reserves are second in the NBA with 45.3 points per game, while the Wizards are last in that category with an average of 19.3.
Washington swept the two-game series between the teams last season after dropping nine of the previous ten meetings.
