    I've never seen a team so full of young afterthoughts.

    But that's where the depth comes into play.

    How are they underrated?

    They will be competing for a bottom spot, seventh or eighth, in the playoffs in the very tough and competitive Western Conference. Maybe they sneak into the playoffs or narrowly miss out. That looks realistic when compared to the other teams in the conference.

    To the OP, what teams in the Western Conference is Denver better than?

    outside of Lawson they are full of mid-level players

    the west is too top heavy for them to get noticed

    Not really. We were a team that relies on depth and got raped by injuries like you could never expect. Gallo out entire season, Lawson missed 20 games/banged up, Chandler missed games, Nate Robinson, Andre Miller held out and at one point Randy Foye started at PG for us. McGee missed the entire season. Even guys like Hickson/Arthur got hurt at some point.

    I have no idea how the Nuggets won 36 games in the West. Shaw deserves credit for that. It was stupid and we should have lost way more games and got a better pick.

    Lawson shouldn't be an afterthought tho. He's a legit player. AA is a fringe All-Star type guy, and a healthy Gallo is a pretty good piece but I mean he's never healthy so I'll let that slide. Faried? The guy who's making a name for himself on the US team, which admittedly is kinda irrelevant but still far from an "afterthought". Guess if you only watch ESPN and care about jersey sales & top 10 lists.

    Nuggets won 57 games with a similar roster. Choked in the playoffs, which was usually a George Karl special mixed with some shitty luck/superior teams. There built for the regular season and will surprise people, playoffs is a different story. Not much hope there. I'd lay down some serious coin that the Nuggets make the playoffs and win 48-55 games depending on health.

    There adding Gallo, AA, McGee who missed EVERY game to a 36 win team. That's our 2nd/3rd best players depending on what Faried does next season. Robinson, Chandler, Lawson should be healthier as well at the start of the season anyways.
