Episode Details

The Nuggets just pulled off a savvy move, bringing in DeMar DeRozan to anchor their bench — a veteran with 17 seasons under his belt ready to torch defenses off the bench. This comes after they shipped out Peyton Watson, and now Strawther, the 29th pick in 2023, finds himself once again pushed down the depth chart at shooting guard/small forward. Despite flashes of offensive promise — even stepping up during injuries last season — Strawther’s defense remains a concern, while DeRozan’s proven scoring outweighs his defensive flaws. With Strawther eligible for an extension soon, the Nuggets may be better off trading him to manage cap space, keeping him as a role player could mean another year of limited minutes and missed potential.
