"The Denver Nuggets are signing 2022 first-round pick David Roddy to a two-way NBA deal out of the Raptors 905 in the G League, sources tell ESPN. Additional wing depth for the Nuggets for the regular season."
"In 34 games for the 905, the 6-foot-5 wing has posted averages of 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 47.5% from the field and 39.2% from three. Roddy - fresh off his international assignment with Team USA - returned to the 905 for their game today against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, leading the team with 27 points and 6 assists."
"With three players being nabbed from the team over the past week, it speaks to the 905's development program. That's a great recruiting pitch for prospective players when the season is over, but right now? It presents a real challenge."

The 905 faces significant roster challenges with less than a month until G League playoffs.
