The Nuggets have the best player on the planet in three-time MVP Nikola Jokić, and they just matched the best winning percentage of their NBA existence (.695). Are they still fully sold on this core's championship contention, though? Denver has subtracted key pieces each of the past two summers (first Bruce Brown, then Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) and struggled to add established players of note (other than Russell Westbrook).

Do they see enough scoring and shot-creation within their supporting cast to believe Jokić won't have to do everything on his own? Jamal Murray is mostly fine as a second option—though his numbers can be a bit erratic—but things get dicey when you get down to Denver's No. 3.
