Jeremy Lin is 6'3.

I wasn't comparing them as players.  I used Lin as a comp for the type of career potential I project for MH.

Very good interview with Markus. Clearly understands he is in a steep learning curve. He disclosed that he had many offers from other teams and picked Denver as the best fit. .

Markus is definitely Representing MU well.

Cool that Markus buried his 1 attempt from deep even if it was preseason.

You can fast forward to about the 9:05 mark.

Fair enough, I posted from the first spot where he's shown, where he is playing D on someone larger than him, which is something I'm curious about. Definitely cool to see him drill a tough 3!

Leap back 3 to barely clear the defender's hand.

Yes, just imagine what it would be like if he gets a chance to play off ball with Jamal Murray, and has "easy" shots.

Really hoping he gets a legit chance.  If he does, he will succeed.

NBA increased game day roster size to 15 players, up from 13 players. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30540233/coaches-challenge-stays-nba-game-night-rosters-go-15

Anyone know if Markus is trending toward making the Nuggets Top 15?

In a word, no. His minutes will come either from load management from top guards or injuries. Outside of Murray, Harris, and Morris, his time at the 1/2 will be taken up by RJ Hampton and PJ Dozier, then Campazzo.  He’ll get minutes at some point and the Nuggets style of play fits him, but it’s a team stacked with solid or promising guards

0 chance.

Hes like 20th off the bench right now.

He will get a chance at some point this year though.

The Nuggets website lists 17 guys on the roster, including Markus.  Sad to hear some of Lazar's ghosts getting PT over Markus and pushing him back to 20th.  Thought he had God on his side :(

Haha yeah idk how many there actually are. Just remember I looked at their box score last weekend when he didnt even get in and I had to scroll to get through all the guys off the bench that did play. And I think like 4 of them were guards.

He played 3 minutes last night in a Denver 33 point blowout.  Thats not a good sign for him.  In three pre season games, he played eight minutes total, seeing the time in two games. All at the very end of games.  Still don't understand his reasoning signing with Denver with all their capable guards, but good luck to him.

I think Denver signed the Small foreign point guard at the time they signed Markus. So in a way Markus got recruited over . Markus will have to prove himself as a point guard in practice.

The good news is Markus has a two way contract , which keeps him close to the Nuggets for a year to evaluate him.

That’s what I don’t understand either.
MH had choices, and I get that anywhere he went would be an uphill battle, but DEN seems like a huge mountain to climb.

Would Fred Vanvleet be a good comparison in terms of a ceiling for Markus? Obviously not a one-to-one comparison, but just throwing it out there when you look at offensive skillset and being undrafted. Short term reality is probably a little less bright though.
