Josh Adams = B

One of three undrafted local prospects brought in to fill out the Nuggets’ Summer League roster, Josh Adams was the only one to see significant playing time in Vegas. Adams averaged 4.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in15.3 minutes per game.

In 14 minutes against Memphis, Adams poured in seven points, snagged four boards and dished a couple of assists in the Nuggets’ blowout victory. Adams showed that he could run the second unit’s offense throughout the week and exhibited his athleticism on a steal and breakaway dunk.

His chances of breaking into the Nuggets loaded backcourt is virtually zero, but he showcased his talent and could catch on as a third point guard for another NBA team. Good luck, Josh!
