David Adelman Imposes His Vision for the Nuggets: Physical Condition and New Strategies
The new coach of the Denver Nuggets, David Adelman, has made his vision for the upcoming season clear. After hearing the message firsthand, key players like Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther understand the importance of arriving in optimal condition to training camp.
Adelman emphasized that the goal is to improve, aware of the growing competition in the Western Conference. The Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic, will seek new strategies and hope that their players have an active voice in the process.New ideas are good ideas. I have to give them something to get them excited.

Adelman, after his promotion from interim to head coach, seeks to leave his mark on the team. His experience includes the influence of renowned mentors in the basketball world, such as his father Rick Adelman, Sam Mitchell, Frank Vogel, the late Flip Saunders, and, of course, Michael Malone.
Physical preparation will be crucial for a good start to the season and to maintain health during the playoffs. Adelman is working on setting up his coaching staff, with the aim that the team arrives in better shape.
One of the key aspects to improve is the team’s depth. The Nuggets are looking to strengthen their roster, especially after noticing the wear and tear in the series against Oklahoma City after overcoming the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment’s vice president, Josh Kroenke, admitted that the team needs to improve to aim for the championship. The management is looking for a new general manager, with Ben Tenzer overseeing the role on an interim basis. Adelman will participate in the general manager selection process, seeking cohesion and a focus on the team’s success.The Nuggets’ youth, with players like Strawther, Peyton Watson, Jalen Pickett, and DaRon Holmes II, will be an important factor. Holmes II, selected in the first round, suffered an Achilles tendon injury during the summer league.This business is about cohesion. It’s about moving forward and winning. That’s all. It’s not about finding your best friend.

Adelman plans to implement adjustments to the style of play, but defense will remain fundamental.We are hungry to improve. Everything is fuel for the fire.
Julian Strawther
We have to go back to being a team based on execution. If that takes something away from our pace numbers, or what the analytics want to say, I think that’s fine if it wins you a game in May, instead of playing a game in December.
