SAN DIEGO — Known figures in the world of basketball and beyond to whom various Nuggets players have been compared this week: Larry Bird, Ricky Rubio, Marco Polo.
“I’m not giving any minutes away,” Malone said this week when asked if he already has some mental picture of his potential second unit. “Nothing’s going to be given to anybody. … If anybody out there, players, think that they’re automatically going to be given minutes as a backup, they’re mistaken. They’re going to have to earn that. I’m not giving anything away.”
Due in part to the Nuggets’ needs, Tyson may be the rookie who’s most likely to become Malone’s No. 2 option at any position early in the year. Vlatko Cancar’s torn ACL this summer had ripple effects. Zeke Nnaji might be needed even more as a small-lineup center, and a bulked-up Peyton Watson subsequently projects as a potential stretch-four.
Jackson, however, was the recipient of the Rubio comp, which came directly from general manager Calvin Booth. “It’s going to be hard choice to figure out that second unit,” Caldwell-Pope said, “because we’ve got some guys coming off the bench that could play on any team.”Shedeur Sanders, timely D rallies Buffs past Arizona State 27-24, bringing CU to within two wins of bowl eligibility.
