Mile High Hoops: Previewing the upcoming Nuggets season

Oct 20, 2021, 6:40 AM | Updated: 6:41 am

It all tips off on Wednesday night. One of the most-anticipated seasons in the history of the Nuggets gets underway when Denver travels to Phoenix to take on a Suns team that unceremoniously ousted them from the postseason a year ago.

There’s a lot to be excited about. The Nuggets have the NBA’s reigning MVP on their roster. They inked two key pieces to big contracts in the offseason. And they have a supporting cast that looks to be comprised of the right pieces.

But there are also questions. Namely, will their star point guard return to form when he recovers from an ACL injury.

It’s a lot to digest. It’s a lot to analyze.

In this episode of “Mile High Hoops,” Zach Bye previews the 2021-22 NBA season and forecasts how the Nuggets will fare against a reloaded Western Conference. Zach makes his early picks for MVP, Most Improved Player, etc.
