Former CU forward to play on Nuggets Summer League squad

Xavier Johnson has been added to the 2017 Denver Nuggets Summer League roster according to Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports.

The 6-foot-7, 225-pounder averaged 14.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game during his senior year with the Colorado Buffaloes. He finished his career placed 11th on CU’s all-time scoring list with 1,463 points while also being ranked seventh in all-time three-pointers (130) and games played (127).

The Nuggets have a tradition of keeping in-state talent in-state for their Summer League team, with additions such as Josh Scott and Josh Adams last season. It becomes a wonderful opportunity for Johnson to show off his skills in front of NBA scouts, D-League scouts and even international scouts that will be gathering in Las Vegas to try and add some talent to their team.

The Nuggets will play on July 7 (NBA TV), July 9 (ESPN2) and July 10 (ESPNU) with the playoffs running through July 17, for those interested in tuning in.
