Afflalo Primed for Breakthrough Season?

(Arron) Afflalo, who turns 29 in October, played three seasons for the Nuggets after two rather uneven years with the Detroit Pistons. His scoring numbers have increased each of his seven seasons — from 3.7 as a rookie to 18.2 last season. He said he’s primed for a breakthrough season.

“I learn a lot every year, I try to improve my leadership skills, I try to improve my body and my game,” he said. “This year, I expect it to be no different. I expect to be one of the best players in the league and the best player at my position.”
