With the 2020 NBA Draft nearly two weeks away, Tyler Bey’s name should be familiar to the Denver Nuggets.
Bey set an NBA Combine record for forwards when he posted a 43.5″ max vertical over the weekend but even before then, he had distinguished himself as a staunch defender at the University of Colorado.

6’6” without shoes
6’7” with shoes
7’1.25” wingspan
8’9.5” standing reach
37.0” no step vert
43.5” max vert
5.0% body fat— Jonathan Wasserman (@NBADraftWass) October 31, 2020
Amazingly, though ESPN rated him a three-star recruit before signing with Colorado, Bey managed to start every game of his career.
