If you watched the fourth quarter of the Nuggets regular season finale against Golden State, the individuals on the court in powder blue for the most part are players you’ll see again when summer league rolls around.
Usually an annual mystery until a week or so before it begins, the Nuggets summer league team is already pretty known and stocked with players that will be the core of the team in their continued growth in the NBA.
Add in whoever the Nuggets lottery pick is in June, and the expected arrival of center Nikola Jokic, a second-round pick in last year’s draft the organization is excited about — and this is the working roster, already eight players deep.
G Ian Clark, 6-3, 180
