Nuggets show interest in ex-Cavs first-round pick Cam Whitmore

Summary

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly pursuing Cam Whitmore, a former first-round pick waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Nuggets had a quiet offseason due to financial constraints, making only minimal roster additions, including DeMar DeRozan and Marvin Bagley III. Concerns about depth remain after the departures of key players. Whitmore was previously acquired by the Cavaliers as part of a five-team trade and averaged 9.2 points last season. He is considered to have potential as a 3-and-D player and is under contract for $5.4 million this season.
