Get to know them: Shabazz Napier, Noah Vonleh, and Keita Bates-Diop

While the majority of the conversation around the Denver Nuggets and their involvement in the four-team trade that sent Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez to the Minnesota Timberwolves, there were elements of this deal that have been overlooked by fans.

Most notably, the players the Nuggets received in the deal.

Coming from the Timberwolves are three players who played mostly bench roles this season. Denver will actually receive four players in the trade, but Houston Rockets wing Gerald Green has been dealing with a serious injury, and according to Mile High Sports’ own TJ McBride, Green will be waived upon completion of the deal.
