Afflalo finished the 2011-2012 season having averaged 15.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.4 apg, and 0.6 spg in 62 games for the Nuggets as their starting shooting guard.
Recommendation: Afflalo had an up and down year battling an early hamstring injury which plagued him on and off during the season. He did up his rebound (3.6) and assist (2.7) averages in the clubs seven playoff games, but he shot just 40.5% from the field, including a horrid 20% from beyond the arc compared to 47.1% and 39.8% respectively during the regular season. He will be back next year for sure and all signs point to him having a better year now that he'll have a full off-season and training camp to bond with so many new, young teammates, something he didn't get this past year.
