Denver Nuggets Roster

Basketball is a team sport where there are five players on the court working as one. General managers try to find players that are exceptional individual athletes but also mesh well with others. Each team can have up to 15 players on their roster but only twelve can dress out each game. The primary positions of a basketball player are point and shooting guard, small and power forward, and center. Two of the most important positions of basketball players are the point guard and the center. Point guard first because this players usually handles the ball the most, calls plays, very vocal, a leader, and basically and extension of the coach on the court. Also the center as he is usually the biggest player on the team and should be the best rebounder, shot blocker, and defensive present around the basket.

Best All-Time Combination

The Denver Nuggets have never went all the way to win a NBA championship but they have made some runs and came close to holding that trophy up and the end of the season. The first great combination of players to almost achieve this accomplishment was by two forwards who were scoring machines in Alex English and Kiki Vandeweghe. Both of these players averaged over 25 points per game. Another great combination of players are the two playing together now. Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony are two NBA all-star caliber athletes and have their team heading in the right direction. In the 2009 NBA playoffs the duo led their team to the NBA Western Conference Finals.
