The episode spotlights energy big Osai Ocifo’s eye-catching minutes, questions about Jaron Holmes’ absence, and evaluates other Nuggets prospects like Mark Mitchell and Deshawn Jero’s hustle plays. Can any of these fresh faces solidify a roster spot, and what does this mean for Denver’s depth? Locked On Nuggets is your go-to for analysis of Denver’s youth movement and Summer League surprises.
