Noah Vonleh – Sell

There unfortunately just is not a place for Noah Vonleh on this roster. Brought over to the team in the big four-team trade at the deadline that saw the Nuggets shed the salary of Malik Beasley, Vonleh never really caught on. He would only appear in seven games for the team and averaged a forgettable 1.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in only 4.3 minutes.

Vonleh is worth a shot for a team in a rebuild. As seen with the New York Knicks a season ago, he can put him numbers and can be a body off the bench. The issue in Denver is if they are already choosing between Paul Millsap, Mason Plumlee, Vonleh and anyone else on the free agent market they may consider there just is not space for him.

The former lottery pick profiles as the kind of guy likely on his way overseas only to build up his resume for a late career return to the NBA for a team in need. He is already 25 and at this point he may be at his peak already. The only thing that can change that at this point is opportunity, In Denver there is little of that.
