Cornelie & Radecivic

For those of us who don't keep track (most of us, probably), I took a few minutes to look for updates on our top two "stashed" players. Obviously I don't have much and would welcome more info, especially from our European representatives.

Petr Cornelie
This season
14.9 mpg - 4.8 pts - 62% 2pt - 16% 3pt - 76% FT - 3.2 reb
stats are improving and the last 5 games include
10.4 pts 59.4% FG 5 reb
Tim Connely met with him in Paris during the London trip.
Likely to be one of Denver's two D-league players? Maybe

Nikola Radecivic
This season
24.4 mpg 8.9 pts - 40% 2pt - 27% 3pt - 76% FT - 2.7 ast/1.8 tov
Nuggets are staying in touch
Contract ends this year
Likely to be one of Denver's two D-league players? My guess is yes

The more I think about it, Cornelie could be the perfect fit next to Jokic if he develops properly. Tall, long, athletic 4. If he can turn into a plus 1 on 1 defender and shot blocker, and finish around the rim off Jokic dishes, he's exactly the type of player I'd want next to Jokic.

He looked to be a pretty good shooter during summer league too, but that 16% 3fg% looks pretty discouraging.

Murray/Mudiay
Harris/Murray/Beasley
Anuoby/Juancho
Cornelie/Juancho/Plumlee
Jokic/Plumlee

Is a rotation that could be really good if players hit their potential.

Is Cornelie along the lines of Porzingis? Might not be at that level but I think his play is similar. How good can he be? Hope we get to see.

Radecivic: 6'5" PG that is rather slow but plays intelligently. He can probably play SG too. Not sure there's a good starting PG in the modern NBA to compare him to. The league is going towards high scoring, quick PGs. Radecivic is more of an old school, get everyone involved type.
