Nikola Jokic is a star who needs to improve his defense. Gary Harris is a rock-solid two-way wing. And Paul Millsap is the ultimate fill-the-gaps big who nudged Jokic — by way of a late-season heart-to-heart, team sources say — into undisputed alpha dog position. Murray is the unknown. He’s going to be good. If he’s great — if he becomes a top-eight-ish point guard over the next few seasons — the Nuggets have a different trajectory.

David Morrow: Basketball Without Borders Europe 2018 coaches will include Nikola Jokic, Nemanja Bjelica, Gary Harris, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Frank Kaminsky, Boban Marjanovic, Nikola Vucevic, Ana Dabovic and Sonja Petrovic. Also participating: Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Gregg Popovich.
The NBA, FIBA and the Basketball Federation of Serbia (KSS) on Tuesday announced the top 40 boys and 23 girls ages 17 and under from 25 countries who will participate in the 17th edition of Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Europe taking place from August 15-18 at Belgrade’s Zarkovo Sports Hall & Kosarkaski Centar. BWB is the NBA and FIBA’s global basketball development and community outreach program. The campers will be put through their paces by current NBA and FIBA players Nemanja Bjelica (Sacramento Kings, Serbia), Bogdan Bogdanovic (Kings, Serbia); Gary Harris (Denver Nuggets, USA); Nikola Jokic (Nuggets, Serbia), Frank Kaminsky (Charlotte Hornets, USA/Serbia), Boban Marjanovic (Los Angeles Clippers, Serbia) and Nik Vucevic (Orlando Magic, Montenegro). WNBA players Ana Dabovic (Los Angeles Sparks, Serbia) and Sonja Petrovic (Phoenix Mercury, Serbia) will also participate in the camp.
Harrison Wind: Nuggets players have arrived in Atlanta. It looks like Paul Millsap’s second annual team minicamp is starting up at his state-of-the-art Core4 facility. I wouldn’t expect to see Nikola Jokic or Gary Harris there with Serbia’s Basketball Without Borders camp beginning Wednesday.
Chris Dempsey: Gary Harris will also be part of the Basketball Without Borders camp in Serbia. So the #Nuggets will have two players there.
Harrison Wind: I’m hearing Denver has been aggressive in trying to move into the top-4 tonight but the asking price remains high. The feeling is the Nuggets don’t want to move any part of its three-man core, and for good reason. Wings that fit well in Denver are also available at 14 @BSNDenver
