Not Time To Overreact but Nuggets Have Issues

I know this is early in the season and growing pains are expected, but this offense looks bad. Sure, Chandler and Harris will come out of their shooting funk, and that will help.

Here are a few major issues in my opinion:

1. Nuggs offense was most effective last year when running the pic n roll/top of the circle hand off with Harris and Jokic. Haven't seen much of that this year.

2. No point guard. I know people love Murray's potential and he has a high ceiling like all high lottery pics. Hastings would compare him to Curry last year, but he reminds me more of Ron Mercer, slasher/streaky shooter (at this point he's much more of an off guard). Mudiay has a lot of potential, big body drive to the rack type player, but he can't shoot and fades away on everything. Plus below average defense. I really hope they pull of a Bledsoe trade.

3. Will Barton is obviously playing for a big contract. He's in a contract year and is all about putting up numbers, which i can't blame him for. Doesn't help the team tho when he's looking to get his at all times.

4. Ill Will - this guy is such a versatile player, and I'm not sure what they need to do to get him involved, but they need to.

5. Jokic - This is a hard one. Part of what makes him great is his unselfish nature. At the same time, he's one of the most efficient players in the game. He needs to take open shots when they are there, unless there is an obvious better option.
