Denver Nuggets small forward Wilson Chandler joins Mat Smith on FACE to FACE from the University of Colorado during Training Camp 2017. Chandler was named starting small forward by Head Coach Michael Malone before camp started, as Danilo Gallinari departed in free agency to the LA Clippers.
Chandler averaged 15.7 points per game, shooting 46.1% from the field. His versatility to play three positions gives the Nuggets an added luxury if they choose to mix and match lineup combinations. Coach Malone has expressed his interest in using Chandler as a stretch four this season.
Entering his 11th year in the NBA, Chandler has played in 516 games over his career. He is a large part of the veteran leadership core the Nuggets are relying on to lead them to the playoffs this season.
