Second-year striker Torrey Craig has been incredibly huge for the playoff Nuggets. He played about 20 minutes a night and posted an average of 71 percent real shot in eight games. The Nuggets benefit immensely from his versatile and disjointed defense and his respectable shots at the perimeter, which, aside from the human angle, is what makes the sight of his face dripping with blood very, very unfortunate:
