It appears that point guard Chucky Atkins won’t be ready to start the season due to a groin injury, so Allen Iverson will run the point to start the season. Iverson is a shoot first point guard but his passing is underrated. He played in 65 games (64 starts) last season for the Nuggets & 76ers and he averaged 42.5 minutes, 26.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Linas Kleiza will likely be the starting shooting guard when the season starts next week and he will give the Nuggets another big body in the lineup. He played in 79 games (14 starts) last season for the Nuggets and he averaged 18.8 minutes, 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Kleiza is a really good shooter who will make teams pay for doubling A.I. or Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony had his best season of his career last year and it appears that he could even play better. He played in 65 games (all starts) and he averaged 38.2 minutes, 28.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Nene Hilario really stepped up big time last year as the starting power forward as he provided muscle and defense for the Nuggets. He played in 64 games (42 starts) last season for the Nuggets and he averaged 26.8 minutes, 12.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Center Marcus Camby is one of the best rebounders and defensive players in the NBA. He played in 70 games (all starts) last season and he averaged 33.8 minutes, 11.2 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.3 blocks per game. The Nuggets must keep Camby healthy because his all out effort revs up the Nuggets engine on both sides of the court.
