The Nuggets sign the former Lakers and Spurs second team backcourt scorer, and he is probably cut soon?

According to well-known NBA reporter Chris Haynes, the Denver Nuggets have completed the signing of Javante McCoy, a backcourt player who was previously in free agency. Although the details of the contract have not been disclosed, we can basically confirm that McCoy got a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses, and he is likely to be cut by the Nuggets in the next time.

McCoy was born in January 1998 and is 27 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is the undraft in the 2022 NBA Draft. McCoy has signed training camp contracts with the Los Angeles Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons, but he has no way to get a standard contract or a two-way contract, and he has never appeared in the NBA. He has spent the last three seasons in the NBA Development League. He has played for the Lakers' team, the South Bay Lakers, the Spurs' team, the Austin Spurs' team, and the Pistons' team, the Motorcycle City Tour. Last season, McCoy's subordinate team, the Pistons' team, toured Motor City, in the NBA, played 18 times in total, with averaging 23.4 minutes per game, averaging 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. He shot 55.2%, three-point shooting percentage 45.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 88.9%.

From the perspective of characteristics, McCoy is actually a good scorer. He has rich offensive methods and relatively comprehensive scoring abilities. He can use breakthroughs to complete scoring, and he also has good shooting abilities. However, relatively speaking, his contribution to the defensive end is relatively average, and he is not a very reliable defender. On the other hand, McCoy suffered an injury last season, which also led to his full-season reimbursement and was unable to appear in the second half of last season. In addition, McCoy's age is also a problem. He is 27 years old and he probably doesn't have much potential to explore.

According to previous news, the Nuggets' NBA Development League team Grand Rapids Gold has completed a deal with the Pistons' team Motor City Tour, and McCoy's NBA Development League signing rights were also traded to Grand Rapids Gold. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, if McCoy is cut and stays in the Grand Rapids Golden Group for 60 days after the start of the NBA regular season in the new season, he will be able to get a reward of up to $85,300 from the Nuggets. I don’t know what kind of performance McCoy will perform in the next NBA Development League.
