Kendrick Nunn certainly had to battle his way to where he’s at now. Of course, this battle was at least in part for reasons of his own making, but he’s made the most of the opportunities he’s earned with the Miami Heat in his rookie season.
He was signed for as close to free as you can get in the NBA, for $4,737 at the end of last season. Nunn had to make his way through Summer League, where he was named First Team All-Summer League thanks to his strong performance, and that was enough to open the door to a potential roster spot.
