The Denver Nuggets have a deep roster, which may prove to be more of a curse than a blessing. Michael Malone’s biggest challenge this season is going to be juggling his lineup. Malone could go nine players deep on his bench at times which rises some big questions. What combinations will he use on the floor? How is he going to distribute minutes? Is he going to develop the young players on the floor?

Aaron Mares of Denver Stiffs joined Gil Whiteley to discuss how Malone is going to handle his rotation. Mare believes that Malone’s handling of the bench will shed light on how close he believes the Nuggets are to competing for a playoff spot in the West.
