The Nuggets announced the arrival of young forward Keita Bates-Diop as part of four-team trade involving Minnesota, Houston and Atlanta.
Here are some details about one of Denver’s newest arrivals:
Age: 24
Position: Forward
2019-20 Season Averages: 6.8 points, 3.0 rebounds on 42.2 percent shooting
Summary: Bates-Diop gives the Nuggets another versatile forward who can play and guard multiple positions. Bates-Diop is a tweener who cuts well, which fits in well with the Nikola Jokiu0107-run offense.
Out of the Nuggets’ new arrivals, Bates-Diop might have the most upside with the forward showing he could potentially be a solid defender with decent range (he’s shooting 33 percent from downtown this season).
