When the stakes are high, it always helps to have a teammate who has been there before. For Monte Morris, that teammate is Malik Beasley. They will be the starting backcourt for the Nuggets summer league team, which starts play on Friday in Las Vegas, and the good chemistry between the two is already easy to see.
“It’s been big,” Morris said. “Working out with Malik all year, playing 3-on-3 with him, and now going into my second year just like his second year was (last year). I could tell he was comfortable, and you can tell I’m more comfortable with him.
