Here are the Nuggets’ player grades for the 2012-13 season. Players are listed in alphabetical order. “I” is a grade of incomplete.

F Corey Brewer

C+ His gambling style paid off in the regular season. He was one of the Nuggets’ best weapons off the bench in providing energy and steals. He finished with one of the best regular seasons of his career. But Brewer struggled in the playoffs. He did not have the same impact, and the Nuggets’ second unit struggled as a result.

F Wilson Chandler

B- Chandler missed the lion’s share of the first half of the season as he recovered from hip surgery, and took a while to get going once he did become a regular part of the lineup in January. But he quickly proved his value, first on the defensive end, which helped the Nuggets improve as a team as the season progressed. Offensively, he found more consistency and had a few breakout games. Outside of Game 5, Chandler wasn’t the same offensive factor in the playoffs.

F Kenneth Faried

B The Manimal was the Nuggets’ only representative during all-star weekend — part of the Rising Stars game — and is on the shortlist of players most responsible for the team’s wildly successful regular season. An ankle injury slowed him in the playoffs.

G Evan Fournier

B- This was supposed to be a sit-and-watch year for the 20-year-old rookie, but injuries thrust him into the rotation. He stormed out of the gate with eye-opening performances before showing his youth during the playoffs.

F Danilo Gallinari

B He was having his best season in the NBA before it was cut short by an ACL tear in early April. Gallinari was the team’s second-leading scorer and had improved a bit defensively as well. His shooting percentage left something to be desired, but in the end the Nuggets sorely missed him in the playoffs.

G Jordan Hamilton

I Hamilton spent last summer being groomed for a bigger role this season — and it never materialized. Nuggets coach George Karl didn’t like what he saw in some early appearances, and Hamilton didn’t really play after that, showing up in 40 games for an average of 9.9 minutes.

G/F Andre Iguodala

B Offensively, Iguodala’s regular season was a disappointment. He had been expected to mesh well with the Nuggets’ style of play from Day One. That didn’t happen. Defensively, however, he was the team’s MVP and late in the season and in the playoffs showed he could be a big playmaker for the team as well.

C Kosta Koufos

B- Through 80 percent of the season, Koufos’ story was the feel-good tale on the team. He started when no one thought he would. He earned Karl’s trust. Never flashy, he played better than expected. Things went awry in the playoffs, but the season overall has to be counted a success from his standpoint.

G Ty Lawson

B+ He started slowly under the weight of a new contract and the expectation that he would carry the team. But by season’s end, he was doing just that, scoring in bunches and putting up big stat lines. He was the player most responsible for keeping the pace high and rim attacks plentiful. His biggest fault? A lack of leadership, though he tried to grow into the role.

JaVale McGee

C The athletic 7-footer was always viewed as a project this season, but no one knew just how big a task it would be. McGee blew a chance to be the starter in preseason and had to work to get back in Karl’s good graces ever since. But by the end of the playoff series, he had earned that starting nod, yet has much more work ahead.

G Andre Miller

B- There were points in the season that the veteran reserve guard was invaluable, playing well and winning games — including Game 1 of the first-round series. But don’t tell that to a fan base that ended the season red with anger at some of his playoff struggles. Still, Miller was the best leader on the team.

F Quincy Miller

I The rookie spent most of the season inactive or with the Nuggets’ D-League affiliate.

C Timofey Mozgov

C- His name was hot at the trade deadline, but he never could crack the rotation. Once a player the Nuggets thought had promise, now he might be allowed to leave even though he’s a restricted free agent.

F Anthony Randolph

C Randolph probably deserved more minutes, but Karl could not find them for him. Randolph did find an increased role in the playoffs and played respectably. He may get a bigger role next season.

G Julyan Stone

C- The second-year player was used in desperation during the first-round series, guarding Stephen Curry because of his defensive prowess, but this was largely a lost season for Stone. He missed 44 games with hip and knee injuries.
