The Denver Nuggets hit paydirt with Arron Afflalo
The Nuggets traded for Arron Afflalo last summer in a deal in which they also got forward Walter Sharpe from the Pistons for a future 2nd round pick and cash. The 24-year old Afflalo played in 82 games (75 starts) for the Nuggets last season and he averaged 27.2 minutes, 8.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He shot an amazing 43.4% from three point range last season for the Nuggets. The Pistons gave up on Afflalo way too early. He has now played in 231 games (92 starts) in his NBA career in which he has averaged 19.2 minutes, 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Look for the Nuggets to be on the hunt around draft time for more young players that teams are willing to give up on cheaply.
