Hunter Tyson is a sharpshooter who needs to sharpen his shot.
Two years into his NBA career in Denver, he’s yet to replicate the excellence of his final college season, when he lit up the ACC at 40.5% on six 3-point attempts per game.
He’s on his way to Las Vegas this week to continue pursuing that version of himself. Unlike his fellow 2023 Nuggets draftees — Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett — Tyson is playing Summer League ball for a third year, starting 7:30 p.m. Thursday when Denver faces Milwaukee.
“I think the big thing when we talked to Hunter about playing was the game minutes,” said Andrew Munson, who’s coaching the Summer League squad.
