Camp question
The biggest question mark for the Nuggets is the lack of experience at the point guard position. The Nuggets recently bought out 37-year-old point guard Mark Jackson, thus leaving the squad with no experienced point guards on the roster. The only point guard with a guaranteed contract on the roster is second-year player Kenny Satterfield. Rookie Junior Harrington of Division II Wingate and free agent Darrick Martin will also be in camp trying to make the squad. Satterfield showed promise late last season and during summer-league play at the Rocky Mountain Revue, but he is probably at least a season away from having the starting point guard duties full-time. The Nuggets will have to either make a trade or go the free agent route to find a veteran point guard. Nuggets swingman George McCloud is not a traditional point guard, but he has played the position when needed in the past and once dished a career-high 22 assists at Chicago two seasons ago. Don't be surprised if Denver makes a deal or signs a free agent for help.

Camp project
The Nuggets are again one of the NBA's youngest teams age- and experience-wise with rookies Harrington, Nene Hilario, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Predrag Savovic and Vincent Yarbrough. Satterfield, Chris Andersen and soon-to-be acquired Rodney White also have just one year of NBA experience, while Donnell Harvey is just 22 years old. Many teams will be working on plays and getting to know one another, but the young Nuggets will spend numerous hours working on fundamentals. With a lot of playing time up for grabs, whoever shows the most promise of these young guys will get the minutes. Look for Hilario, Anderson, Harvey and White to rise to the top of that group. Tskitishvili definitely has the skills to be a member of that group, but a lack of strength will likely keep the 19-year-old on the bench than the hardwood this season.

	FANTASY GAMES KEY CAMPER
	Who to watch: Sure, his career high in games is only 63, but newcomer Marcus Camby generally delivers when he's on the court. Now that he's getting his first shot out West, Camby's health and consistency are major factors in whether he's a center you'll want to draft early. Watch for his motivation level in camp. — Eric Karabell

Camp comeback
All eyes will be on Nuggets newcomer center Marcus Camby. There is no doubt that Camby is quite talented as he averaged 11 points, 11 rebounds and 1.47 blocks for the Knicks last season. But the 6-foot-11, 235-pounder's problem isn't his play. It's his health. Injuries, most notably a hip injury, limited Camby to a career-low 29 games last season. During his six-year career, the 28-year-old has never played more than 63 games. The Nuggets have said that Camby is now healthy and ready to go. Even so, they plan to be quite cautious with him. He is expected only to take part in one of the two-a-day practices and receive limited minutes during preseason games. Denver wants to make sure that Camby will be its starting center when the season begins and not on the injured list.

Camp controversy
There is a tie in the Denver camp between the two forward positions. Juwan Howard, who will be a free agent next summer, is slated as the starting power forward, but Hilario, Andersen and Harvey hope to see minutes at power forward, too. Who is the starting small forward is anyone's guess. While young Hilario has showed promise that he can contribute immediately, Andersen was the Most Valuable Player of the Rocky Mountain Revue. And after playing in limited minutes during his first two seasons, Harvey is anxious to show his versatility on a consistent basis. Assuming that James Posey starts at shooting guard, the battle for the starting small forward spot will be between White, Tskitishvili, George McCloud, Ryan Bowen and possibly Harvey. The newcomer White, who had a disappointing rookie season in which he played just 16 games, must make his presence known immediately to get into the mix. Tskitishvili may not get serious minutes due to his lack of strength and inexperience, but he is athletic, has a deep 3-point stroke and needs to get some time in order to develop. McCloud, a free agent next offseason, has the toughness and outside shooting that'll help him get some playing time. Bowen, who signed a three-year contract in the offseason, will get in games by virtue of his extraordinary hustle.
