Denver Nuggets Film Room – Al Harrington Offensive Scouting Report
Al Harrington has been a Denver Nugget for over three weeks and I have yet to show him the respect of a proper Film Room segment. Today that unfortunate streak comes to an end.
In this segment I take a look at what Al Harrington can do, and not do, offensively. We had a lot of material to work with thanks to his 43 point outburst against Denver last season. Watch the video and then we will dig a little deeper into what Harrington has to show us.
Video after the jump.
2010-11 Denver Nuggets Schedule
The NBA has released the schedule and here are some highlights of the Denver Nuggets 2010-11 schedule:
- They open at home versus the Utah Jazz on October 27.
- The Nuggets only have 19 back to backs which I think is the lowest number they have had over the past couple of seasons and should be about average.
- As was the case last season they have a bunch of back to back games in the first couple of weeks. Four back to backs in the first three weeks to be exact, including a four game in five night stretch that sees them play the Clippers at home, head to Dallas, on to Chicago and then they finish in Indiana.
Does Luck Run the NBA?
ESPN.com recently ran a feature where Chad Ford and John Hollinger ranked the potential for future success of all 30 NBA teams (Insider required). Every team was ranked based on five important characteristics, players (weighted 40%), management (weighted 20%), money (weighted 20%), market (weighted 10%), and draft (weighted 10%).
As a Nuggets fan and observer I believe they forgot one very crucial category, luck.
Whether you call it luck or intangibles, mojo or fortune it comes down to the fact some teams seem to have things go their way a little more often than others. Look at the teams that have dominated the NBA over the previous two decades. Chicago, San Antonio, Los Angeles and Boston had at least one tremendously lucky break that has paved the way for their success.
Summarizing the Mark Warkentien Era
The Denver Nuggets have been to the playoffs seven straight seasons and have posted three straight 50 win campaigns for the first time as an NBA franchise. Despite the consistency they have displayed on the court, the front office is once again in a state of flux.
The Nuggets announced today Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman will not have their contracts renewed and thus will cease to be employed by the club at the end of August (Denver Post article, Tomasson article on FanHouse). This is no surprise as Warkentien has been granted permission to speak with other teams about their front office vacancies. Over the previous four seasons the Nuggets have had quite a few cooks around the fire. Warkentien, Chapman, Bret Bearup and George Karl have all had a say in personnel matters and do not forget Stan Kroenke ultimately determines what he is willing to spend which plays a considerable role in player personnel decisions.
Despite the crowded kitchen Warkentien was the head chef and he made a significant mark on the franchise.
Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman Leaving the Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets have announced the contracts of Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman will not be renewed.
Kroenke Sports Enterprises Vice President Paul Andrews is quoted as saying:
“…after meeting with both individually in recent weeks, we decided it would be best for all parties to go their separate ways. We appreciate everything that each has done for the organization and wish them nothing but the very best in the future.”
Andrews went on to say the Nuggets are in the process of restructuring the front office and they have begun a search for replacements.
