A maximum of 45 days in the NBA? That's interesting. If he tears it up do they have to renegotiate to keep him in the league longer?

Can't hurt Monte's situation with the Nuggets right?

I suppose not, but there's still plenty of competition for minutes there - Mudiay, the Jamal Murray experiment, and Harris will play mostly off ball but he might get some spot duty at PG. And so much of Denver's offense is going to run through Jokic and Millsap in the halfcourt that it's hard to tell how big a role the PG will even have.

I thought that was to clear room for Richard Jefferson. I just skimmed though

Why does Richard Jefferson keep getting NBA looks?

Is it just me, or does he look like he's added some quality weight since last season? Or maybe it's just an aspect ratio distortion of the video.

 

[helechopper]

He’s now fully jacked.

 

[cyclone101]

Really hope he gets an opportunity and sticks for many years.

He’s now fully jacked.

The Full Monte?

Also, they’ll like Will Barton to initiate the offense as well.

NBA is full of guys I've never heard of.

Yeah, I wonder if that Monty Morris guy is any good.

I think I've heard of that guy... He's a selfish player, right? Never passes?

I know of most NFL skill players. I probably know 5% of NBA players, if that.

Monte won't play much, if at all, for the Nuggets this year. Two-way contracts are designed so the player can't spend more than 45 days on the official roster. If the player doesn't get called up at all they only make $75K too.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Monte was not dressed for the Nuggets' opener, at least according to the box score.

Since the Nuggets are one of the few NBA teams without a G-league affiliate, I hope that where he ends up playing this year gives him quality time to develop. Seems less than ideal.

 

[BryceC]

Honestly Nuggets were a bad landing spot for him. However, if he's good enough he'll stick. Regardless he'll always have a place in Ames.

Why does Richard Jefferson keep getting NBA looks?

because he continues to dunk on people and not **** up mightily when he's out there. Solid veteran presence. This is his last year though, for sure.
