No wonder the Nuggets were willing to give away 4 draft picks last season to exchange for Dalong Holmes, whose performance was completely a substitute for Gordon!

Daron Holmes II was the No. 22 pick of the Nuggets last season. Unfortunately, he unfortunately suffered a tear of right Achilles tendon in his first summer league last season, resulting in a season reimbursement.

Daron Holmes is tall: 205cm, wingspan: 214cm, and his height and wingspan are quite advantageous in the fourth position. The key is that he also has a stable three-point shooting, which is very suitable for Gordon's substitute next season, and sometimes he can even play the No. 5 position in the small lineup. In the 2023-24 season, Holmes played for Dayton University in the NCAA, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists, shooting percentage of 54.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%.

Daron Holmes played for 25 minutes in the first game of the summer league last season, making 4 of 8 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

Daron Holmes made his first summer league game this season, playing for 24 minutes, making 6 of 9 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

The Nuggets' substitute lineup is still very competitive next season. In addition to the number one position, the number two and number three have corresponding reinforcements, including Brown and Hardaway Jr., Holmes at the fourth position, and Valanciunas can only be found in the fifth position. If the Nuggets can introduce another number one player with rotational strength, they will definitely have a chance to revenge the Thunder in the playoffs.
