The Nuggets have signed first-round pick RJ Hampton, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
Hampton finalized a buyout agreement with the New Zealand Breakers on Monday night, his agent Daniel Frank informed Wojnarowski. Hampton appeared in 15 games with the Breakers before leaving in early February and returning to the United States to prepare for the draft.
Assuming Hampton received the usual 120% above the rookie scale, he’ll make $2,193,480 in his first season. The 24th overall pick could earn $11,129,417 over the next four seasons if his third- and fourth-year options are picked up.
Denver acquired Hampton’s rights in a draft-night agreement with the Pelicans. New Orleans received a 2023 lottery-protected first-rounder in return.
Denver legit the only team that knows how to pick up steals at the draft…RJ,Porter,Bol Bol
IDK who RJ is, but you’re defining steals as teasing backups!
But it is good that Denver has good depth, and players valued by other teams.
If they can keep their talent together, they could be champs. Murray and Nokic as leaders are fortunately humble types.
I think he means PJ tucker…which doesnt make sense in this context. Hes on rockets not nuggets
Or maybe they mean RJ Hampton. You know, the guy this article is about.
Sigh agree to disagres
Another hyped guy. He got size and was a top recruit in HS. But didn’t do much overseas. If he shows it will be yrs. We still have to wait and see on him.
Exactly. Recall Mudiay…
