In the latest Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer is joined by deputy sports editor Matt Schubert to talk about Singer's time at the Nuggets' training camp in San Diego and storylines that have emerged over the past two weeks. Among the topics discussed...

+ Is the Bones Hyland hype real? Could Nuggets head coach Michael Malone give real minutes to a rookie? What does the VCU product, a +8,000 underdog for rookie of the year, need to do to find a spot in Denver's crowded backcourt?

+ Will Bol Bol finally appease the masses and make his long-awaited debut as a rotation staple? What's the story behind his reported attitude change? What happened that produced a more focused player ahead of camp?

+ What is the Nuggets' place in the Western Conference ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season? With Jamal Murray's return date unknown, what are reasonable expectations for this team?

+ Is this conference still the Lakers' to lose? Who should come out of the East? Does Kyrie Irving's bizarre behavior put the Nets at risk of squandering their real chance for an NBA title?
