    Cos Ryan Bowen does his job, So does Voshon with his shooting. White's a good player and will get better with time, but Bowen and Lenard are more reliable at this point because they know their roles. Bowen clamps down his opponent, Voshon is a clutch shooter - a young team like Denver needs the experience.

    Better than Lenard? Thats a joke. Voshon can light it up for 20 on any given night.

    White is very inconsistant...Lenard is a very good starter...he can give you 15 a game every night.He is struggled so far but I doubt that will continue..White I believe is struggling with injury which might be why he didn't play.

    And so were the Pistons

    Drafted with the 9th pick...Didn't produce or looked as good as Dumars has hoped and in the end there was no room for him in Detroit so he was traded a year later..And now it seems the same is happening in Denver.

    i think Rodney is a very solid back up, but not better than Voshon. last year lenard was probably the best scorer on the raps with vince out, and he's almost always money with his shots. I think white and trepaigner need more minutes, cuz jeff was a monster in the summer league, and it wouldn't hurt to put a couple more fans in the seats with those high-flying dunks of his.

    Over who though? Voshon scored 15, and it's rare that White shoots a high %. Lenard is the perfect guy at SG for a team like the Nuggets, and Carmelo is guaranteed SF (barring injury) so I'm not sure where White gets his minutes, other than backing up both spots like he has been doing.

    nothing wrong with coming off the bench? just makes our bench that much stronger.
