(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.”
