Today, the Denver Nuggets announced they have officially picked up Zeke Nnaji’s third-year option for the 2022-23 season.
Denver selected Nnaji with the 22nd pick of the 2020 NBA draft out of the University of Arizona. Nnaji played sparingly for the Nuggets last season, appearing in 42 games averaging just 9.5 minutes per game. Where Nnaji really made his mark was three-point shooting as he made 24 of the 59 threes he attempted averaging 40.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
Even though he did not play that much, you could tell the talent was there with Nnaji.
