Chucky Atkins is back...
Atkins expects to make his first appearance in 26 games tonight against the Spurs. It will probably take until the end of the season to see how he can mesh with the team and get back into shape.
Not the best news for a team that needs every W possible! But he can, if healthy, be a great contributor.
How do you guys think this move will affect the minutes of JR Smith (who has been running backup PG duties) and Anthony Carter?
Karl has been playing an 8 man playoff style rotation (mostly out of injury need) and this will surely stunt some of the JR growth.
Starters:
Carter - 30 min. per game average
Iverson - 42
Melo - 37
Martin - 30
Camby - 35
Bench:
JR Smith -18
Kleiza - 24
Najera - 21
Atkins - was 17
So the Nuggets have a 3 guard rotation right now with AI, Carter and JR totaling 90 minutes per game for the two positions (PG SG - 96 minutes total in a game obviously)
I'd like to see Karl get Iverson some more rest, but with him off the floor the team really struggles...so that might not even be an option.
Should be interesting how Atkins affects the team...especially since Carter has been such a nice surprise on the defensive end and has really eaten up more minutes than I expected of him.

Re: Chucky Atkins is back...
I see Atkins getting some of AC's minutes, as well as JR's, depending on the situation, and what kind of D JR plays.

I have a feeling that not everyone here does in fact remember Uwe Blab. You just sent me on a nostalgia trip, however.

It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.

Re: Chucky Atkins is back...
I definately don't want Atkins playing more than Carter. Atkins either isn't very good, or is still coming back. Either way Carter is playing much better.

Re: Chucky Atkins is back...
Diawara should never...ever see the floor during a game...ever.
That said...Chucky doesn't seem to bring much to the table yet...JR is much better and Carter's D is much more valuable right now.

Agreed. Carter at best is a backup -- he's been asked to do more this season with the injuries and he's done a nice job in my opinion. That said...he's not a key member of the team by any means and I hope Atkins can outplay him and JR gets most of the minutes!
Nuggets lineups I like on the floor:
AI
JR
Melo
Martin
Camby
Supersubs:
Najera
Kleiza
Smaller roles:
Atkins
Carter (very small)
