The Grand Rapids Gold, the G League affiliate of the Denver Nuggets, held an open tryout this past weekend, offering anyone who paid $168 a chance to make the team.
According to the Denver Gazette, the tryout was open to all comers, with the hope that some might impress the coaches enough to earn a spot on the team.
The G League, the NBA’s minor league, provides a platform for younger players to develop their skills and occasionally call up players to the NBA when needed.
The Gold can take as many as three from the tryout to the team’s training camp, but the chances of making the team from a tryout are pretty slim.
Other G League teams, including those affiliated with the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and others, have also announced dates for their tryouts.
The Denver Gazette reported that the Grand Rapids Gold held their tryout on opening night in 2016, where a standout player scored 20 points in a blowout win against the Golden State Warriors, helping to spoil Kevin Durant’s debut with his new team and landing a highlight chase down block on two-time MVP Steph Curry.
What this adds
The G League's open tryouts offer a unique opportunity for players to showcase their skills and potentially advance to the NBA, as previously noted by WarpBeat.
