Emmanuel Mudiay started to prove his NBA potential at the backend of last season. This confidence seems to have continued into training camp. As the seven overall selection in the loaded 2015 NBA Draft, Mudiay has become a core piece of the Nuggets future.
Mudiay has impressed Mike Malone, and according to Chris Dempsey, he has taken on much more of a leadership role too.
According to Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post, Mike Malone said this when talking about Mudiay’s role:
“Physically, he’s a big, strong, imposing guard as it is. I think he’s even bigger and stronger coming into camp.
