Free agency opened on July 1, and while 29 teams around the league have made an effort to improve, the Nuggets have stood still. They could use an upgrade at multiple positions, but we’re focused on possible big men.
No. 2 – Mirza Teletovic
Mirza Teletovic, a 29-year-old forward from Bosnia, averaged 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in just over 22 minutes a game for the Brooklyn Nets last season. The 6-foot-9 Bosnian can play both forward positions and isn’t afraid to shoot the ball. Teletovic took 4.8 three pointers a game last season, hitting 1.6 a game at 32.1 percent. The big man can stretch the floor, plays fearlessly, and, as the captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, would be welcomed to the organization with a bear-hug by fellow Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic.
