Competition for playing time is fiercer than ever for the Denver Nuggets. Under new coach David Adelman, the roster is deeper, with young players like Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther, Jaylen Pickett, and Hunter Tyson set to fight veterans—including new additions Cam Johnson and Tim Hardaway Jr.—for key minutes as the rotation remains up for grabs. Summer league analysis highlights Duron Holmes (#54) and Julian Strawther (#62) among the top 100 NBA prospects, though host Tom Luther argues Strawther deserves the higher rank based on proven impact. The episode also spotlights rising guard Curtis Jones, who officially earned a two-way deal after his standout shooting and improved playmaking in Vegas, adding immediate value to the G-League squad and long-term intrigue for the main roster. GM Ben Tenzer’s international connections are paying off, fostering positive talks with European players, especially Jonas Valanciunas, who is now expected to be part of the Nuggets in the coming season. Depth, youth, and high expectations define Denver’s 2025 outlook, setting the stage for one of the West’s most competitive training camps yet.

Major changes could be coming to the Denver Nuggets following summer league action and new pressure in the Western Conference. Rookie Donovan Holmes impressed by regaining pre-injury athleticism and looks poised to crack the rotation, while backup point guard remains a concern: despite strong internal options, the Nuggets may pursue a veteran such as Delon Wright or explore a reunion with Chris Paul if he isn’t signed by the Clippers. Free agent Malcolm Brogdon is another name in play. The final two-way slot is up for grabs, with EJ Liddell and Curtis Jones staking the strongest claims; Jones’ shooting and defense in particular stand out. Trade buzz includes a proposed deal sending Zeke Nnaji and Hunter Tyson to the Suns for Royce O’Neale—a move that could bolster Denver’s depth and clear roster space for more young contributors. With Marcus Smart landing in LA and guard depth stronger than ever across the West, fans can expect continued Nuggets rumors and late-summer moves as the front office keeps eyes on a repeat title run.

On this episode of Nuggets Today, host Thomas Leuthner explores the “strange” developments shaping the Denver Nuggets’ offseason as Summer League takes a back seat. Key focus is on the rising importance of Julian Strawther, who’s reportedly “working in the lab” to expand his scoring beyond elite shooting—now adding rim finishing and shot creation, potentially transforming Denver’s bench. Leuthner analyzes why Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown’s arrival could boost Strawther’s defense and overall growth, filling key gaps after Bruce Brown’s prior departure.

Trade possibilities for Zeke Nnaji and potential targets such as Ayo Dosunmu are also discussed.

On the July 16, 2025, episode of Nuggets Today, host Thomas Leuthner breaks down the latest buzz as the Charlotte Hornets plan to buy out Josh Okogie—urging Denver to pursue him for his defense and versatility off the bench.
