C.Andersen: 65
T.Mozgov: 61
K.Koufos: 58
M.Ely: 59

And now for more details:

Guards: We have pretty good postion on two guards postion.

R.Felton and T.Lawson will fight for the PG postion.

They both good guards alot of team in the NBA will want them.

For now i'm going with Lawson,and we will look how good is he.

In the SG postion I put Smith beacuse this guy is so athletic player,and I prefer to play with him.

although Afflalo is a good solid SG as well.



Forwards: This postion is the strongest in our team,I talked before about the topic,we have a pretty balanced team.

W.Chandler is a talented player,I hope I can make him to a star.

Gallinari is a good backup for him,a killer 3pt shotter.

Forbes won't play so much but maybe he will get a chance in the future.

In the PF postion we have Martin,he's the best rebounder on our team.

And on the bench Harrington,a good solid backup for Martin.


Centers: Nene for sure,is the first choice,a great post up player and good rebounder.

He is important player in our team and I hope he will be a star as well.

On the Bench we have C.Andersen a great rebounder as well,and a flying bird,maybe he will give us few highlights in this season.

Koufos and Ely won't play so much,they will be backup if someone got injured.

He didn't want me to go,and it made me much more to be excited and with butterfly in my stomach.

Because I'm young coach and i'm leaving my land.

But I saw that as a challenged.

So my parents made me a party before I left,with all my friends and with my family.

And then my family and Anna family came with us to the airport.

We says goodbye one more time and then we got into the plane.

He organized us very nice apartment with a nice view.

The day after,I goes for the first day of practise in my new team.

Denver's a solid team. I think a lineup of Felton, Smith, Gallinari, Chandler, and Nene with Lawson, Afflalo, Forbes, Martin, Harrington, Mozgov, and Andersen on the bench is really good. A lot of your bench could be starters for some NBA teams.

Yeah I know,this is the reason why I chose them.

[Bucket]

Good luck, now Denver have new lineup and they need to work more together. I think new Denver is better than old Denver with Melo.
