LAS VEGAS – Wearing a bucket hat and hunter green t-shirt, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope grabbed the basketball at Cox Pavilion and made himself right at home.
The Nuggets’ new shooting guard waited until the court was cleared during Denver’s Summer League exhibition on Sunday before lining up a 3-pointer from the wing. He didn’t convert his initial look, but he didn’t stop shooting until he’d buried his first unofficial 3-pointer as a Nugget.
Caldwell-Pope, who joined the Nuggets by virtue of a recent trade with Washington, was there to greet his new teammates and head coach Michael Malone.
