9 Former Denver Nuggets that the team can re-sign this summer
By Ben Handler
8.) Bol Bol
Bol Bol was a polarizing player while in Denver and that hasn’t changed. He’s somehow still as much an idea as an actual player; oozing with upside but unable to channel it all. He’s had promising moments but hasn’t really been able to latch onto a team and carve out a meaningful role.
Still, the combination of size and talent is undeniable, and he can be extremely impactful in the right situation. Adding a versatile 7-footer who can shoot, handle, and block shots would be an incredible boon for the Nuggets. He could fill a number of roles in short bursts for Denver and add a totally different look coming off the bench.
Bol is a flawed player for sure, but his skill set is incredibly intriguing. If anyone can maximize his strengths, it would be a player like Jokic who can set Bol up for success. Bol can be a bit of a liability on defense, and he’s not a lock to make the playoff rotation. But he’s worth a minimum contract as a guy who could at least be a regular-season innings-eater and provides loads of untapped potential - something the Nuggets roster is currently lacking.
