Jrue Holiday has been one of the best defensive guards in the NBA for a long time now, which is why the Denver Nuggets need to make him one of their highest priorities.

While Jamal Murray is prone to offensive explosions, his defense leaves a lot to be desired. Gary Harris is good but not elite as a defender, which is why the Denver Nuggets backcourt needs some serious reinforcements on the defensive end of the floor.

Bringing in Jrue Holiday would be perfect for the Denver Nuggets, as the 30-year old would improve the team's defense significantly. Moreover, he is also very good on the offensive end and could choose between playing off-ball or being the facilitator.

Given how versatile his skill-set is, it is safe to say that Jrue Holiday would add another dimension to the Denver Nuggets and be the perfect acquisition for the franchise.


#2. Gordon Hayward

Hayward is a decent defender that would add some serious versatility on the offensive end for the team. He is an elite creator out of the pick-and-roll and is also capable of being an amazing off-ball player.

Considering how much Gordon Hayward would be able to bring to the Denver Nuggets' roster, the franchise should do everything they can to acquire the services of the free agent.


#1. Chris Paul

Chris Paul had an amazing season with the OKC Thunder, wherein he proved to everyone that he is still one of the NBA's best over the course of the regular campaign.

Chris Paul could be the perfect addition for the Denver Nuggets on both ends of the floor. In addition to being an elite offensive weapon, Paul is also a very impactful player on the defensive end.

The OKC Thunder star is also a great leader who is capable of guiding the team through the toughest of times. Additionally, he steps up his already impressive game in the postseason when the stakes are high.

The 35-year-old is reportedly seeking a trade to a contender for the NBA Championship, and the Denver Nuggets would be wise to go after Chris Paul this offseason.
