With the Denver Nuggets officially signing free agent Mike Miller, there are now 13 players under contract for next season. With 4 players now fighting for 2 spots, who has the edge in making the Nuggets final roster?

The Denver Nuggets have 13 players who are currently on guaranteed contracts and will be on the team for the upcoming NBA season. The Nuggets must now make the difficult decision in deciding what two players will fill out the final roster of 15 players.

The Nuggets will almost certainly stash 2nd round draft pick Petr Cornelie overseas for the foreseeable future, leaving 4 players to fill out the final two roster sports. These players include 3 players who played on the first team last season in Center Joffrey Lauvergne, Forward Axel Toupane, and Forward JaKaar Sampson. The Nuggets also have their 15th overall selection in this years draft Juan Hernangomez to choose from.

Lets take a more in depth look at each of the 4 players and see who might have the edge in terms of making the final roster heading into the 2015-2016 NBA season.
