Denver Nuggets: Top 5 Nuggets’ Shooting Guards of All Time
By Evan Hosmer
#5: Bryant Stith
Bryant Stith was drafted by the Nuggets 13th overall in the 1992 NBA Draft. He spent 8 seasons with the Nuggets from 1992-2000. Stith was not a flashy player at the position but he was extremely dependable. Over his career, he shot 43% from the field and averaged a steady 11 points per game.
Stith was an key factor in the famous Nuggets upset of the Seattle Supersonics in 1993-94 which alone makes him memorable. For a stretch of 4-5 seasons, Stith was good for 13 points a night and a handful of assists. These may not seem like incredible numbers, but his consistency made him a very nice piece for the Nuggets.
Stith could have had a better career had he not struggled with injuries throughout his career. Despite his less than spectacular stats, Stith is one of the best shooting guards in Nuggets history due to his dependability every night.
