Kamagate

Kamagate has yet to come over from Europe, currently playing for Bertram Derthona Tortona in France’s LNB Pro A League. Obviously, this move will not impact fantasy basketball this season, and it’s unknown when he’ll come over to the NBA.

Selected with the 46th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Kamagate was picked by the Nuggets with the idea that he would remain overseas this season. And according to Friday’s report, he’ll be spending another season overseas. The 6-foot-11 center appeared in 34 league games for Paris this season, averaging 9.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 22.1 minutes, shooting 74.3% from the field. While the Nuggets do like Kamagate, he is reportedly not in the team’s plans for next season.

Kamagate is a 6'11" big man who most recently played in Paris for the LNB Pro A League. He has shot-blocking upside and promising long-term potential defensively, but the rest of his game is a question mark. The hope in Denver is that with another season in Europe, Kamagate will reach a point where the Nuggets front office has to consider the possibility of bringing him over.
