  • Denver won the fourth quarter 37-18. A bench unit of Tyus Jones, DeMar DeRozan, Trevon Brazile, Aaron Gordon and Marvin Bagley III started the run. at 2:26
  • A host said the comeback bench stint had no single hero; the unit played well together. He cited a Tyus Jones–Bagley pick and roll, Bagley battling Queen (the opposing big, who scored on Jokic, Gordon and Bagley), loose balls and good screens. It was the first night the bench looked cohesive. at 7:24

• Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Report · Oct 23 name not confirmed

  Against the Thunder, Tyus Jones played in staggered lineups while DeMar had the ball. Tyus mostly tried not to mess things up and had one air ball and one good make. A host says he adds stability but is not a jump-shooting threat.

  • Matt Moore: The host says the second unit is compromised defensively because of Tyus Jones and DeMar DeRozan. His biggest question is whether the Nuggets will switch everything, which he thinks would let OKC pick on those two. at 19:39
  • Matt Moore: The host says Tyus Jones genuinely makes multiple rotations, but if Denver switches it will be bad. at 26:08

• Podcast Locked On Nuggets · 3 points · Oct 19
  • Matt Moore: Matt treats three bench players as non-negotiable: Tyus Jones as backup point guard, DeMar DeRozan, and Marvin Bagley as backup five. at 15:16
  • Ryan Blackburn: Ryan disagrees: he wants Alpha Diallo on the floor for 20+ minutes a night. If anyone loses minutes, he says it should be Tyus Jones, with DeRozan sliding to point guard. at 17:14
  • A host wants a point guard next to DeRozan rather than DeRozan running point. The host calls him a good passer but not an engine, and says that is why Tyus Jones matters. at 25:04

  “Spencer Jones is back | Building an 11-Man Rotation” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Nuggets · 4 points · Oct 17
  • Ryan Blackburn: A host praised Tyus Jones for immediately feeding the ball back into a DeRozan post-up after a kick-out, calling him a facilitating point guard. at 10:00
  • Matt Moore: The other host did not think Tyus Jones played well. He found him too hesitant to shoot and struggling on defense against the Lakers' big guards, but says the team was fine in his minutes because he steadies things. at 10:37
  • The bench unit was Tyus Jones, Alpha Diallo, DeMar DeRozan, Cam Johnson (staggered in the first half) and Marvin Bagley. A host thought the lineup made a lot of sense. at 11:18
  • Matt Moore: The other host doesn't see Spencer Jones as a three but is willing to try it. He argues Tyus Jones has to play point guard because having DeRozan bring the ball up every time is probably not a good idea, especially without Strawther. at 23:57

  “Trevon Brazile, Nuggets shine in Preseason Finale vs Lakers” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Nuggets · 2 points · Oct 15
  • Ryan Blackburn: According to Ryan, the bench 'seems' set to be DeRozan, Tyus Jones and Marvin Bagley, plus Julian Strawther if he is able to go and Spencer Jones. at 16:36
  • Swipa: Swypa listed the top five bench players as Spencer Jones, Tyus Jones, Marvin Bagley and DeMar DeRozan, with Tyus Jones named twice. He said Brazile has to come right after them, and he prefers Brazile at the four over Spencer Jones. In his view Spencer should play the three and the backup five. at 17:11

  “Trevon Brazile hype and what to do with Nuggets bench” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Nuggets · 3 points · Oct 15
  • Matt Moore: The bench lineup tonight was Tyus Jones, Julian Strawther, Bagley, Trevon Brazile and Whitmore. It differed from the first three preseason games and, per the host, was 'absolutely destroyed', even before Strawther's injury. at 9:37
  • Matt Moore: The host described the earlier bench structure as sensible. Tyus Jones runs the offense and plays pick-and-roll with Marvin Bagley. Strawther is an iso/deep threat who also runs pick-and-roll. Alpha Diallo defends and only spots up or cuts. at 9:50
  • Matt Moore: The Clippers blitzed Tyus Jones, which the host said mostly worked because the bench lacked other creation. at 11:35

  • DeMar DeRozan made strong passes last night: a kickout to Tyus Jones for three, an entry pass to Nnaji that Nnaji didn't finish, and an angled entry to Jokic for a floater. at 29:53
  • Host opinion: Adelman must use his whole roster creatively and stagger more. He wants Spencer Jones, Brazile, DeRozan, Strawther, Tyus Jones and Diallo all playing with Jokic. at 31:47
