One thing to keep an eye on in the Nuggets’ upcoming summer league games: Juancho Hernangomez’s position. If the team wants to get an early look at how well he’d play at small forward, the games in Las Vegas would be the perfect place to start.
The reason? Depth at small forward. The Nuggets will need it. And, for Hernangomez, it would release him from a stable of power forwards on the team, giving him a chance to carve out more playing time.
Primarily a power forward at 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, Hernangomez didn’t play small forward much as a rookie last season, only four times in 62 games played according to Hoopsstats.
