Nuggets Sign Richardson, Funk, Bediako

The Nuggets have signed Will Richardson, Andrew Funk and Charles Bediako, according to a team press release. They signed Exhibit 10 deals, according to the Denver Gazette’s Vinny Benedetto (Twitter link).

The Nuggets made room for the trio by waiving Gabe McGlothan, Jaylin Williams, and Jahmir Young.

Richardson went undrafted in 2023 before signing with the Grand Rapids Gold last season, where the former Oregon guard averaged 7.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 17.8 minutes.

Funk also went undrafted last year before joining the Nuggets during training camp. Funk, who played college ball at Bucknell and Penn State, also appeared in four of the Nuggets’ 2023 Summer League games. Funk had a two-way contract with the Bulls but was waived in July.

The 7-foot Bediako played two college seasons  at Alabama. Bediako, who was also undrafted in 2023, has appeared in Summer League games for both the Spurs and the Magic. Denver’s intent to sign Bediako was previously reported.

It’s likely all three will be waived. They’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K if they join the Gold and remain with the G League club for at least 60 days.
