Rookie Nah’Shon “Bones” Hyland is ready for his big-league moment. After starring for two years at VCU, Hyland has already flashed during the NBA preseason his potential to perform at the next level. He’s a natural scorer and shot creator, and he was showing off his ability to create shots for others as well.
Now, he finds himself on a Denver Nuggets’ roster that is looking to compete for an NBA title right now. There’s no maybe about it. They’ve pushed their chips into the center of the table, and Hyland is one of them. He gives them some athleticism at the guard position that they didn’t really have before, and, considering how rarely Michael Malone has relied on young players, Bones could be changing that tune.
