How does Mudiay project now that he's in Denver?

[NugzFan]

On surface I agree, but I wouldn't mind packaging Lawson + another vet(s) (who's unlikely to be there long-term) to land Porzingis or something. Knicks just signed Derrick Williams and expect him to be contribute this year. I think you can strike a deal with them.

The nuggets have to be careful to not help the Knicks out too much because we have their pick next year

I think there will be better deals to be made with other teams once the free agency madness is over the picture is more clear as to who needs a pg. maybe Dallas or Indiana?

[NugzFan]

That almost never happens...

If you're a PG who hasn't figured out how to shoot by now, chances are you'll never be a decent shooter. Mudiay's had over 5 years to figure out how to shoot so get ready for 38-39% shooting and many 5-14 nights.

He's 19. Not 29.

I expect sub 40% shooting as a rookie but it will rise as he gets older.

[NugzFan]

He's got potential to be an all-star but playing in Denver isn't an ideal situation, simply because that locker room and franchise is a mess. If he gets the proper coaching, plays in the right system, and is surrounded by veterans who can show him the ropes, I think he's got a chance to be special... but given Denver's current situation I could see him being a bust.

Once Lawson is traded, what's the problem?

Solid coach who gets a long with players. No "bad apples" in our locker room. Lots of veterans. Stable franchise/owner.

We don't know what our system will be since Malone is brand new but the environment is very conducive for mudiay to blossom. It'll be his team very soon.

Mudiay is a streaky shooter right now but I wouldn't label him as someone who has no jumper. That would be MCW. And I like Mudiay upside, if he has a great work ethic he can improve upon his shooting to really become a floor spacer.

I want to see his athleticism in the NBA tho. He seemed slower in China than HS All American game. Wish Sixers had a way to land him. Oh well

His form is broken...he is never gonna be a floor spacer unless he fixes it. Just not consistent

[longtime lurker]

He'll be a top 5 rookie next year. 4 player draft and the Nuggets get 1 of the top 4. Teams like the Knicks and Kings will regret passing on him.

If he's the athlete we've been told he is, he's going to wear some defenders out in that high altitude atmosphere. Denver teams are always best when they push the pace, and he's the guy to do it.

Just like with John Wall, it seems like Mudiay's development will depend on his shot developing

He's 19.

It can be fixed.

[GIF REACTION]

He's a decent talent but he's on a shit team. Would be smart to bolt as soon as he can from that dumpster.

[Blingster]

It's not a broken shot.

Does it need work? yes.

Will it get better? you bet!

He should go to the Kings

Oh wait, he already refused.

Keep trolling. I know it masks the pain of being a Kings fan.

This kid stunk it up in the CBA. Prepare for bust time.

What were his stats in the cba? How bad were they? I thought they were pretty decent iirc

I thought he changed it?

I was going off last season when the players openly revolted against Brian Shaw. That type of environment leads me to think it's not the best situation for a guy like Mudiay, who needs more than just time to develop properly.
