With Jameer Nelson aging and DJ Augustine most likely leaving in free agency, the Nuggets will need someone to back up Emmanuel Mudiay. Jerryd Bayless seems to fit the mold perfectly due to the fact that he’s been a solid backup his entire career. He plays harder than anyone on the court and is a very consistent scorer and ball handler.

Last year, Bayless averaged 10.4 points and 3.1 assists per game while anchoring Milwaukee’s bench as the sixth-man. Watch him score and distribute the ball well for the Bucks’ second unit:

Bayless could be a great signing for the Nuggets. He would fit the system well and consistently pick up the slack for whenever Mudiay needs a breather. He plays with extra tenacity and heart that simply can’t be taught.
