If nothing else, 2010 Duke basketball champ Mason Plumlee is Mr. Consistency, playing in 70 or more games in each full season since going No. 22 at the 2013 NBA Draft. This season, however, his fourth with the Denver Nuggets, the 6-foot-11, 240-pound 30-year-old has averaged a career-low 7.2 points. His squad, though, is a top-shelf contender at No. 3 in the Western Conference, and his overall contributions in scrimmage play have been, you guessed it, consistent.
