Alexander

Alexnder may have gone undrafted, but that shouldn’t scare dynasty managers. He quickly agreed to a two-way deal with Denver after the draft, which likely means that there was an agreement in place during the draft, and his camp told teams not to draft him. Regardless, this is the situation that he chose to be in, and the team clearly values him. If he continues to play this well, he shouldn’t have any issues establishing a spot in the team’s rotation.

The Nuggets did not waste much time adding Alexander to their roster, signing him to a two-way deal less than an hour after the conclusion of last month’s draft. The former Creighton standout is a capable scorer and playmaker, which was on display in Sunday’s close defeat. Alexander’s chances of earning consistent rotation minutes are slim due to his contract and Denver’s cap situation. Still, he has the talent to earn opportunities throughout the season.

Alexander played three seasons at Creighton. He took home All Big East honors in 2023-24 behind averages of 17.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 triples. Despite sub-par shooting splits of 44.6/82.4/33.9, Alexander is a quality scorer. The 6’4, 185 pound guard has a deep bag and can get buckets in the paint, from beyond the arc and in the midrange thanks to his handles, creative movement and the ability to catch-and-shoot. He’s got good length as a defender and can make an impact on both ends of the floor at the NBA level. He’ll get a chance to join a contender, and while he may not make a big statistical impact immediately, he’ll just add to the Nuggets’ depth. He’ll likely spend most of his time in the G-League this season.
