(10-day contracts can now be signed, and some other guys worth considering are mentioned here.)
Erick Green was a big time scorer in college at Virginia Tech. He was a projected second round pick and the Utah Jazz snagged him at 46 then immediately traded him to Denver. After a fairly plain but solid Summer League with the Nuggets, Green spent a year in Italy. Then he came back to the Nuggets Summer League squad and Denver ended up giving him a nice little contract to round out their backcourt. Then the Ty Lawson trade came to pass and the nuggets decided to make space for Kostas Papanikolaou and Green was waived.
