The Nuggets, as a team, regressed from their improvements that they made in game two. Jordan Hamilton did not play due to "Personal Reasons" and that meant more playing time for players who have not played yet. Chris Harris was the only player to take advantage of the increased playing time, scoring 8 points on 3-4 shooting. Evan Fournier only scored 12 points on 4-9 shooting , but 1-5 from three point range, he also had 4 rebounds and 7 turnovers. The 7 turnovers are the most concerning part of the stat line, but that is an anomaly for him so far, as long as the turnovers don't continue, there should be no worry about this game.
Quincy Miller finished with 11 points on 5-13 shooting, 1-5 from three point range, he also had 4 rebounds and 1 block. He has not seemed to find his rhythm in any of the three games during Summer League and is not playing within the game. He needs to find his game before training camp begins, or he could be on the roster bubble. Erick Green had a decent game, scoring 9 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists, but of those 9 points, he did not score any inside the three point line. That has been a theme for him throughout summer league and it is troubling. He has had trouble getting to and scoring at the rim and that has yet to change. His shooting could get him by, but he will have limited scoring potential if he does not improve near the rim.
Luke Harangody kept up his good play in Summer League, finishing with 9 points 5 rebounds and 2 assists in limited minutes. He was efficient in the amount of minutes he received, but I am hoping he will get more in the next two games. Kyle Barone had another disappointing game, finishing with 5 points and 5 rebounds. I had more expectations for him in Summer League and he has been disappointing, especially on the defensive end.
The Nuggets got blown out again and it is starting to get disappointing. Score does not really matter in Summer League, but losing by double digits in three straight games does not inspire awe. The next game is against New Orleans on wednesday.
