Denver Nuggets Coach Makes Honest Statement on Benching New Player
The Denver Nuggets made two big additions to their second unit this offseason, signing both Russell Westbrook and Dario Saric in free agency. In theory, the tandem projected to fit well together, as Saric could serve as a stretch-big for Westbrook and his downhill attack. While Westbrook has been impactful for Denver, including as a starter in Jamal Murray's three-game absence, Saric has struggled in his minutes. Making just two of his 12 field goal attempts in five appearances, Saric has been removed from Michael Malone's rotation the last five games.
