1990–91 Denver Nuggets season

The 1990-91 NBA season was the Nuggets' 15th season in the NBA and 24th season as a franchise. Bernie Bickerstaff took over as General Manager and decided it was time to rebuild the Nuggets. At the time, the club had the oldest team in the league. The Nuggets would make radical changes trading off stars for draft picks. They selected Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (known as Chris Jackson at the time) with the third pick in the 1990 NBA Draft. Under new head coach Paul Westhead, the Nuggets struggled all season and had a league worst 20–62 record. By season's end, the Nuggets allowed 130.8 ppg setting a new record for NBA defensive generosity. Despite their awful season, Michael Adams led them with 26.5 points per game.
