The Nuggets confirmed a series of roster moves today in a press release, announcing that they’ve signed guard Bryce Wills and requested waivers on Amida Brimah, Au’Diese Toney, and Jamorko Pickett.
Wills, who was a member of Denver’s Summer League team in Las Vegas in July, went undrafted out of Stanford in 2021 and has played in the G League for the last two years, spending time with the Capital City Go-Go as well as the Nuggets’ affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold.
In 44 games last season for Grand Rapids, Wills averaged 5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 22.3 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .463/.340/.485. He’s known for more his defense than his offensive ability, having been named to the Pac-12’s All-Defensive team in 2020.
Brimah, Toney, and Pickett signed Exhibit 10 contracts with Denver last Friday. It looks like the plan is for all three of those players – as well as Wills, who figures to be waived in the coming days – to report to the Gold for the 2023/24 season. Their Exhibit 10 deals will make them eligible for bonuses worth up to $75K if they spend at least 60 days with the Nuggets’ NBAGL team.
Denver now has 19 players under contract.
