Unlocking the 2025-26 NBA Season: Which Unexpected Stars Will Redefine the Game?
Cameron Johnson, Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets gave the Thunder everything they could handle in the playoffs. But in the end, it was their lack of depth (27th in points per game off the bench in the regular season) that did them in. Outside of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, Denver didn’t have anyone it could trust when it really mattered.
Michael Porter Jr. usually belongs in that group, but he struggled with injuries and inconsistency in the playoffs. He averaged 9.1 points in the postseason after putting up 18.2 per game during the regular season.
