When the Nuggets drafted Nah’Shon “Bones” Hyland with the No. 26 overall selection in the 2020-21 NBA Draft, the 20-year-old from Wilmington, Delaware was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of being able to play in the NBA.
Hyland, who goes by the nickname “Bizzy Bones,” became the third player from the state of Delaware to be selected in the NBA Draft. Measuring in at 6’3” and just 170 pounds, the skinny scorer will join a veteran group of teammates who are fresh off a playoff run that ended in the second round at the hands of the eventual Western Conference Champion Phoenix Suns.
