[Singer] Strawther’s an *elite* 3-point shooter. The Nuggets loved his range/release/profile. Was their top target heading into tonight.

>Strawther, a 6-foot-7 junior, adds another versatile piece to Denver’s depth chart. At Gonzaga, particularly this season, Strawther flashed an elite ability to shoot from distance. With a quick release and deep range, Strawther provides what every team is looking for: shooting.
>This season, he made nearly 41% of his 5.3 3-point tries per game. In each of his three seasons, his percentages improved. Strawther averaged 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Bulldogs this season.
>Booth is always hunting for wings. In his first draft last season, he took Christian Braun and Peyton Watson, two forwards with excellent positional size.
>In Strawther, he found size and shooting.
>In Strawther, the Nuggets found a big playmaker to potentially aid the second unit. The reserves could look significantly different next season depending on how Bruce Brown handles his free agent decision. The Nuggets would love if he returned, but they can’t guarantee it will happen.
I believe in Booth! Glad they got the guy they did all this trading for
TRUST IN 50 CAL. Our bench was bad at scoring besides BB thats why we staggered.
He has a low release point lol
Great shooter. Terrible defender from what I can tell. I think Hunter Tyson may be the best of the three picks for the way we play.
