With the Denver Nuggets officially announcing that they have signed Vlatko u010canu010dar to an NBA contract, the 22-year-old forward will join the team for the 2019-20 season. After being drafted 49th overall in the 2017 draft, u010canu010dar has spent the past two seasons developing his game overseas.
The Nuggets received two 2017 second-round picks as a result of a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which saw Denver send big man Joffrey Lauvergne to the OKC. Those two selections turned into u010canu010dar and Monte Morris (51st overall), who were drafted two picks apart. While Morris has developed into one of the best backup point guards in the league, u010canu010dar will now look to provide depth at forward in the upcoming campaign.
