Fransco Elson seems to be infront of Skita as far as player rotation and depth charts go, so I think Denver with just play with a 3-man bigbody rotation of Elson, Martin, & Camby. I dont see the loss of Nene increasing Skita playing time much unless one of those three are really struggling during a game or get into foul trouble. Plus Rodney White, even those he plays mainly the 3 spot, will play alot of minutes on the Nuggets frontline, so that impacts what you do at the PF & Center spot as well.
Well i definetly think that Skita will see an increase in playing time. If one of your players gets injured, then u have to keep going down the depth chart to replace him. But i dont think Nene will be out too much longer i say at most another week. But i could be wrong
The team is unsure when he'll be back, but Camby and Elson have definitely been producing from the center position, while Martin has also been playing well at PF. Ironically, Skita is on the Injured List for the same injury as Nene, a hamstring strain. He's not eligible to be activated for two more games, by which time Nene could be back, though it's uncertain when Nene can return.

The Voshun Lenard injury is whats really going to kill them cause they have nobdy who can consistently stretch the defense. And teams are really just packing in the driving lanes on Carmelo Anthony and Andre Miller, and forcing them to take perimeter shots without Lenard their to provide good floor spacing. I think thats part of the reason why Melo's shot selection is getting more horrible. The Nuggets dont have any shooters to create driving lanes, Earl Boykins is probably their best shooter now, & he isnt a spot up type shooter. He is a scorer, who shots the ball well in the mid-range area off the dribble, so that doesnt create the type of spacing they need. Denver's biggest mistake was letting Barry go. And its costing them right now. But its still early
