The Denver Nuggets added six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan to their roster last month following his buyout from the Sacramento Kings. The 37-year-old guard signed a one-year, $3.9 million veteran minimum contract to play alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Nuggets shooting guard Christian Braun expressed enthusiasm about the addition and the opportunity to learn from the veteran scorer. DeRozan averaged 18.4 points per game last season and is expected to provide backcourt depth and scoring options for a Denver team coming off a first-round playoff exit. While DeRozan could move into the starting lineup, Braun remains confident in the team's standing as a conference contender. The front office targeted DeRozan to address roster voids created during the offseason.
