Nuggets Eye Ben Simmons Tryout | Denver Nuggets News
Description
Denver Nuggets are eyeing Ben Simmons for a training camp tryout as they pursue creative moves to bolster their roster around Nikola Jokic. With Simmons reportedly on a comeback trail and fitting their veteran minimum budget, the Nuggets could be getting a defensive anchor who still brings elite passing and ball-handling skills. Once the No. 1 overall pick in 2016 and a former All-Defensive First Teamer, Simmons’ size and versatility could make him a key wing defender — even capable of guarding the four — freeing up other players like Aaron Gordon. While not seeking a long-term commitment, this low-risk, high-reward opportunity could pay off if Simmons is truly back in NBA shape, making it a smart move for Denver’s defensive identity.
