Ryan Blackburn (@NBABlackburn): Akoon-Purcell is basically a wing-sized ball of energy with the potential to develop a solid jump shot. He always plays with 100% effort, and it was very clear during his time in Summer League that he earned this opportunity through effort. If he does get into games next year, it will be as a guy who can shake things up for Denver from time to time. With so much offensive firepower in the backcourt, Denver needs someone to be a spark. Right now, that’s Torrey Craig, but Akoon-Purcell has a chance to be that type of player too.
