Gary Harris, Denver Nuggets

Gary Harris is the perfect sidekick for summer 2020 NBA bubble beast Jamal Murray who is an offensive juggernaut while Harris is a tenacious defender.

Between Murray, Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr. and Harris, the Denver Nuggets have as powerful of a young core as any team in the Western Conference. All of them are 26 years of age of younger which sets up a promising future for this organization.

They made an electrifying run through the playoffs last season before running into the LeBron James buzzsaw. They will have plenty more chances to make noise in the postseason for years to come.

Harris is in a terrific spot as a three and D fixture in the Denver lineup.
