The Denver Post reports that Isaiah Rider is fitting in fine with the Nuggets -- at least for now.  Rider has not exactly burned up the court so far but Coach Dan Issel and others feel he will become the impact player he once was when he gets in better shape. As far as Rider is concerned, he's waiting to prove the doubters wrong.

"I just laugh (at my skeptics). I know where I am. I know where I am going to be, so I will have the last laugh, whether it is in this gym or whether it's another gym playing against them. I have nothing to prove. They want to see me prove something, give the ball to me and see what happens."
