New Year's Resolution: Find a four that complements the emerging Nikola Jokic

1

Michael Malone’s rotations this season have been head scratching to say the least. With Jokic coming into his own in December and cementing the starting his place at the starting 5, Malone has often opted to have Faried in at centre with terrible results. For the season whilst playing the five, Faried has a True Plus/Minus (TPM) of -77. Nikola Jokic on the other hand is +273. Chandler is starting at the four, but he is much more effective coming off as the bench as the 6th man. What the Nuggets need is a Power Forward that can step out and create space, whilst offering to help with shot blocking duties. Hi there Paul Milsap.
