Former Knicks castoff is suddenly resurrecting his career with a contender

The New York Knicks' No. 24 pick in the 2013 draft, Tim Hardaway Jr., joined his fifth NBA team over the summer, signing a one-year, veteran's minimum deal with the Nuggets. Through the first month of the season, he's made his contract look like a steal, averaging 11.4 points per game on 47.1% shooting from three (his career-high from three is 39.8%) on an average of 5.4 attempts per contest.

Denver made several moves during the offseason, from turning Michael Porter Jr. into Cam Johnson to reuniting with Bruce Brown. Signing Hardaway was viewed as a good move for his shooting, but it flew under the radar, given what else they did.
