Teletovic is yet another stretch-four on the list of available free agents. He is versatile on both ends of the court and has a quick shot that could prove valuable for the Nuggets.
Per 36 minutes, Teletovic averaged 20.6 points for the Phoenix Suns last year, a career high. The Nuggets need a versatile scorer that has a solid catch and shoot game like the Bosnian.
The main difference between Teletovic and other stretch-fours is that he should be much cheaper on the open market.
While he might not make as big of a scoring impact as Anderson, he would provide a reasonable amount of production for someone of his value.
With the five draft picks the Nuggets currently hold, the idea of singing a middle-of-the-road player as opposed to a big-name free agent makes sense. The Nuggets could upgrade at the position, but not overshadow the youth.
Regardless, Teletovic would be an upgrade at the position the Nuggets need help in.
