Stronger and More Experienced, Petr Cornelie is 'Ready' to Take His Game to NBA

Readiness is not just a state of mind, it’s a state of body. Center Petr Cornelie is the latest example of it.

“The number one thing with him is he looks bigger,” Nuggets summer league coach, Jordi Fernandez said. “When I saw him the first day I was like, ‘Look, Petr looks like a man now.’”

And it’s allowing him to play like one.

If the first two days of Nuggets summer league mini-camp are any indication, this is a vastly different Cornelie than took the court last summer. He said he is about “five kilos” heavier than a year ago.
