Why Colorado’s most electrifying NBA prospect faces uphill climb from college to the pros

Andre Spight called his Nuggets pre-draft workout last week a “dream come true” — even though the former Northern Colorado point guard left yearning for more after his session included only a limited amount of three-on-three scrimmage.

“I don’t think they got to see everything I can do,” Spight said, “but they should know.”

Therein lies the challenge for the state’s most electrifying prospect entering Thursday’s NBA draft. Numbers don’t lie. But do they carry as much weight in the Big Sky?

Spight, a South Plains College and Arizona State transfer, arrived in Greeley as a virtual unknown, and following one senior season, he left as a UNC legend.
