The Nuggets have officially signed first-round pick Evan Fournier to a rookie scale contract, according to a team release. While most first-round signings are merely a formality, Fournier's deal is notable since it means the 19-year-old guard will join the Nuggets immediately rather than continuing to play overseas.
As the 20th overall pick, Fournier is eligible to sign for a first-year salary of up to about $1.36MM.
