I don't follow the NBA, much less the G-League, but it seems like Giorgi is having a good year. Looks like if the season ended today the Nuggets would be in the play-in tournament. I realize it's still very early in the season but anyone think there's a shot Giorgi gets any NBA tick this season?
Or Malcolm Hill, J. Tate, or any other former Illini that might be kicking around the G-League, for that matter?

Would love to see us incorporate this set if/when Belo returns. Trent and Grandi are absolutely lethal in the corners.

And I’m thinking Brad has the same idea when he said he wanted to be more like the Utah Jazz. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
