Denver Nuggets Eye Roster Spots Amidst Walker and Whitmore Competition
The Denver Nuggets are preparing for their upcoming training camp as they finalize their roster for the new season. Lonnie Walker IV is reportedly competing for a spot on an unguaranteed contract, facing potential competition from rookie Cam Whitmore. Whitmore, a highly touted high school talent, fell to 20th in the 2023 NBA Draft. He averaged 10.5 points per game over three seasons, with his scoring output and efficiency declining annually.
The Nuggets currently have 14 guaranteed contracts, leaving limited openings for the final roster spots. Walker, Whitmore, and other players are expected to vie for these remaining positions. The team has not yet officially announced Walker's signing, indicating ongoing roster decisions. Walker previously played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Europe.
