Denver Nuggets — Summer League 2026

From: Arkansas

From: St. John's

Physical 6'7" forward who plays with high motor and crashes glass on both ends. Showed improvement at St. John's as a creator off the bounce but remains a non-shooter (career 28% from three) which limits NBA offensive versatility. Watch if he can defend multiple positions in space and whether he's added any reliable perimeter shooting touch.

From: Tennessee State

Undersized 6'2" combo guard from Tennessee State with scoring instincts and mid-major athleticism. Limited defensive tools and efficiency concerns against higher competition make this a long shot. Watch his decision-making versus length and whether he can knock down catch-and-shoot threes consistently to carve out a role.

From: East Carolina

Raw 6'11" big from East Carolina with intriguing length and shot-blocking instincts but very limited offensive polish. Needs significant development in screening, positioning, and hands to be a viable NBA center. Watch his rim protection rotations and whether he shows any touch around the basket or willingness to set hard screens.

From: Missouri

From: Denver Nuggets

Undersized scoring guard (6'1") with good pace-changing ability and mid-range creation skills that translated well at Colorado. Shooting consistency (career 34% from three) and defensive limitations against size are concerns for rotation viability. Watch if he can run pick-and-roll efficiently, defend without fouling, and knock down open spot-up threes.
