Man a torn ACL is always terrible.Its going to take a while for him to come back.This is also a big blow to the Nuggets backcourt,as well as the Nuggets perimeter shootung.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Banks:</div><div class="quote_post">Ahh...big blow to them. Hopefully DeMarr Johnson can take over that role </div> I forgot he was in Denver. If he plays well, that'll definitely weaken the impact of Voshon's injury. DerMarr is less of a shooter though, and Voshon was as good as it gets when it comes to shooting.
Dang that blows, who is going to fill the SG spot? They only have mediocre players at that position. So they lost a more than average player, and boy that sucks. Will Demarr or Buckner start?
I think SG will be filled by Dermarr Johnson. He's quite explosive and can pretty much shoot it from outside. This is a huge loss, it's okay to lose to the Lakers (since it's my favourite team too) but to lose a key team contributor real sucks but the team has to get over it like the Magic got over Grant Hill. They gotta move on and answer the issue.
That's bad news for Denver. It will hurt their team set-up a fair bit. Good luck to the guy and I hope he can recover quickly.
Lenard being injured will hurt Denver but not too much, they should be able to cope without him. Rodney White and Dermarr Johnson are hardly terrible shooters/guards and they will still have Martin inside to score the points Lenard gave them. They will still contend for homecourt.
Lenard was the team's biggest three point threat, and now that Barry is not around anymore either, I'd expect the Nuggets to suffer. They lack consistent outside shooting and Martin and Anthony are both mid-range to low post players. Their best shooter now is Earl Boykins, and he is coming off the bench. There will probably be a trade for a decent shooting guard, maybe involving Nene.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">There will probably be a trade for a decent shooting guard, maybe involving Nene.</div> I doubt it. Kiki loves Nene plus he's gonna make a serious run for 6th man simply because hes a great producer off the bench. I would actually be surprised if Kiki makes a trade. Hes been trying to keep the nucleus intact and he needs to give the players who have been here for a while a chance at it. And if Rodney and Dermarr played like they did last night, the Nuggets will survive.
